Hi Folks!

Just finished my next kit this month. It was very much fun and i really enjoyed the assembling. A really nice kit which i recommend to beginners as to semipros.

Mostly oob, i wanted the cowling-flaps open and constructed these flaps out of aluminium from an tealight.
Another plus were the brake lines.

I´ve done the paintjob without preshading and the weathering comes from lightened panels and Tamyia´s Smoke.

The exhaust plumes were made with candle smoke and eyeshadow.

Hope, you all like the Hellcat as much as I do 🙂
Comments are always welcome!
