JohnB Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 I had worked on this Hasegawa F6F off and on for about a year but finally decided to go on and finish it. I thought doing it like the one in the photo would be interesting. Would make a great diorama but I didn't want to take it that far. The carrier deck is from Big Tim. Paints used were Model Master. After market includes Barracudacast tires, FineMolds belts and, if I remember correctly, a True Details cockpit. The gun sight is from my spares stash. I hope you like the results of my efforts! 17

PhilM Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Very nice! I like the subtle exhaust staining down the fuselage side behind the cowling. Inspiring me actually to finish something ... 2

Members Mikester Posted January 18, 2019 Members Posted January 18, 2019 Really nice build, John. I traded away several older 1/32 Hasegawa kits several years ago and wish I would have kept them. 2
1to1scale Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 inspiring, you make me want to dig mine out of the stash and build an FAA bird. 2
