JohnB Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Been working on this one for a few days and decided I'd go on and post some pictures. Painting about done except for some touchup. Decaling next then weathering, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 John Looking mighty good. Impeccable work and progress on your latest build: Eduard's F6F-3 Hellcat. Colors look spot on as we've been discussing the past few days. Just love gloss paints as they go on so smoothly and save a lot of time when it comes to glossing and decaling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The build is going well. I'm starting on the decaling today so it shouldn't be long before it's finished. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 John sure seems I was lagging in thought ... does look like today is the day. Of course, being retired means we do lose track of what day it actually is and I thought it was Sunday when I first posted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Of course, isn't that the way ... always replace or discontinue something is works perfectly and then try to reinvent the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their DSB (or GSB) whichever initials you want to use, is/was 1st class. Too bad it's discontinued. If I can find some on ebay or some place I'd scoop it up for sure. Their acrylic version is okay and seems to work just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes, I have a dwindling supply of Model Master colors...Dark Sea Blue being one of them. I hate that they discontinued them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
