Thought I would start an album of my efforts at completed models. Both first ones are F6F-5 from Hasegawa and Airfix.

Thanks Spanjaard, all have been hand brush painted. I am now experimenting with Klear etc to try and make decals look more presentable.

yes some gloss paint before decalling will avoid silvering. then you can use some satin/matt to protect and hide the carrier film of the decals.

I sometimes stick em on using varnish to hold them in place. A stiff brush helps to ram them down if the surfaces are pronounced.

Well and sand them after each layer with a high grid 6000 or higher maken the surface really smooth so the gloss will be smooth > less change on silvering

Welcome Guy, you seem to like Hellcats 🙂
Where did I see that Jerry Stuka before?
If you need (advanced) tips, check out Paul Budzik's site: paulbudzik.com/tools-techniques/index.html
Most importantly, check out this one: scale-modelers-handb../modelers-creed.html

Nice collection and photos. I'm glad someone still hand brushes🙂. But sometimes it is hard to work only with brushes I'm getting ready for airbrush attempts🙁.

Thanks David 🙂 I think airbrushing will be something I will have to try sooner or later, especially for some of the camouflage schemes!

One cannot stop the evolution😉, but some times it is hard to learn completely new things. You cannot learn "old dog" new things:-D
