A Big Kitty

Post by Paul »

I thought it would be time to start the Airfix 24 scale F6F-5. So far I think it is a fairly decent kit and I have searched out reviews on it before I bought it. I started the pit today and I am pretty much in the paint phase and throwing some washes on it. I am making this a three or four month build since I would like to have it done before the April show here in Tulsa.

I'll be adding paint tomorrow as well or maybe tonight. I'm so indecisive.... :hmm:

That will be a big one! Great details in the pit at that scale. All out of the box?
Thanks,
John

Not really. I have extras that I'll use but the high dollar extra that I have, the Airscale interior, I may think twice. Ill have to see.

Great to see this big kitty on the bench!

I have read mostly positive things of this Hellcat kit, tempted to build one as well.. but where to put it... at this moment mission impossible, so double-up nice to be able virtually follow your build Paul !

Happy that your back and building here once again! I will be following this for sure. I recently discovered a Trumpeter 1/32 F6F5-5N kit I had forgotten about with a Big Ed set for it. This might be what gets on my bench soon. I will be interested in how you do your humongous bird as your work is always stellar
