Most Trumpeter (Airplane) Kits have some issues. But you made the best of it Matt. Congrats.

Album info

Thought I'd share a build I just completed.
1/32 F6F-5 Hellcat. It has it's issues - but to me - it still looks like a hellcat wink
- Montex masks & markings
- Barracuda Wheels
- Master covered metal gun barrels
- Airscale instrument dial decals
- Prop & rear landing gear from Hasegawa Hellcat kit
-EZ Line antenna wire (amazing stuff!)

Modelmaster enamel paints. Tried to give it some character with a lighter colored wash (white and yellow mix). Also post shaded some panels & varied the final finish using both a semi gloss clear and flat clear. Not much in form of chipping as I hear the GSB finished were pretty tough. The weathering may be over done to the purist, but I'm overall pleased with it.

Since photos were take I've switch the nav lights (woops!)
