No doubt it can be a really outstanding model. I just wish it was 1/32. However, I will not pass it up. It just looks TOO good! Any idea as to what the price will be?

My first reaction to the 1/24 F6F was "Too big, I just don't have room for it". After seeing the photos I think I'll have to "bite the bullet" and build one. Really looks outstanding. But, where to put it???

I went back and adjusted the photos to show the weathering a little better. Next will be the underside. Oil stains, etc.

Thanks!

Thank you Martin. Still got a ways to go yet.

Weathering is underway.

Thanks Peter. I was a little worried about how the "246" oval would turn out but it did okay. Now for more weathering.

Very nice work! Looks goooood!

Thanks Gaz. No problemo on the pics. Still a long way to go with weathering, etc. I'm just happy the "246" oval turned out okay.

Thank you!

Thanks Harv. I like it too!

Decaling under way.

Better pics are coming.

Won't be long Peter.

Painting and decaling about done. As there is no decal for the "246" in the oval on the nose I will make them using this stencil and numbers from my stash. I will apply the numbers in the ovals, which are inked in on a strip of white plastic. I will then scan them into my computer then resize and print them out on white decal paper using my laser printer.

Okay. I was going to suggest something for the gun belts if you were going to have 'em open.

Looking good. Coming right along. Do you plan to have the nose gun doors open?

Thanks Peter. Several shades of OD are in order here.

Nice work! I like it!

Just received the kit and all I can say is "WOW"!

Agreed. That's why I chose that one. Been "rode hard and put up wet" as they say.

Thanks Martin. I have those plus this one in b&w.

Basic OD/gray applied. I'll get started on some weathering next.

I agree. The box art is really good!
