Re: Yeah baw HELLCAT!
I've been sitting on a Hellcat in my stash forever. Seeing your great work is inspiring me to give it a look.... Watching for more!
Re: Yeah baw HELLCAT!
Brother, if you did that, I’d follow that build first thing in the morning every day!

I have the same kit, started it but never finished it so it’s still in the box. Yours is looking great!

Re: Yeah baw HELLCAT!
Thank you, PL, and Duke! And Duke, this one’s for you buddy, here we go:


I have installed the ignition ring and cover on the old crank case.
I plan on priming this, painting it, and then installing the cylinder heads after they’ve been painted. I’m going to do them one at a time and wire each one up individually, and see how that sequence works for me.

Same wavelength as Stuart, apparently! Great!
Make more models!

Bruce and Stewart,
Thank you and yes it sure does! It could even be Lovecraftian, if you’re into that sort of thing I suppose. My Hellcat is gonna have a Shoggoth under the cowling!
Mos-
Thank you! I saw that video earlier today and I think that technique adds a whole lot to the overall realism he’s getting with his model. I’ll happily try that.
