Model Art Hellcat F6F5N side build
decided to do a side build of Modelarts Hellcat as i work on the USS Essex.
1/33 laser print very nice looking model i really thought it would be neat to have some 1/33 models of the planes on the flight deck of the carrier hopeing to incorporate it into a diorama of the finished carrier stand we will see how that developes. i intend to build it hard style with the detailed engine and cockpit and will try to add some custom scratch stuff to it while we wait for the under hull of the carrier to be completed...

the front engine section is th toughest build i have ever done
allready rebuilt it 3x and wiped im bringing a big stick this time and upping the .5mm former for the front to 2mm and well finally makes it work i crushed the former 2x @ .5mm trying to get all to stay glued it just wasnt working but switch to 2mm former and omg its golden it glued perfectly with my case of uhu glue i ordered i im totally switching from aelleen tacky to this magic non water glue i love it and have no problem paying 25$ for a box of them lol and yes thats a 2mm card former in front

I built that kit too - it's like a Hasegawa plastic kit. You're doing it justice too. <S>

Ah! A very well-built WWII USN fighter. I love it. Many thanks for the clear photos and twitterfied explanations. Good reference for a model I would like to build myself . . . although I am not sanguine about my ability to cut a 2mm former as well as you . . . never mind a 2mm circlesaurus.
