Overall it is not my best paintjob, but it was a great kit to build. I will finish it tomorrow. With weathering i think it will look better than it is right now. Thank you for your like, mates!

Brush or not, that is impressive- the weathering will add to the impressive-ness!

Subtle weathering- hard to perfect, but you've aced it!

Vielen Dank Simon und Neuling! Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Hellcat, auch wenn nicht alles so geklappt hat wie erhoft. Aber welches Modell ist das schon 😉

Das ist doch immer so! Aber man braucht ja auch noch Verbesserungspotenzial für's nächste Modell! 😉

Auch das stimmt so. Mal schauen, wie mein aktuelles Projekt «Curtiss P-40F-20 Lafayette» am Ende rauskommt... 😉
