JohnB Posted January 2, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sweat on the LG bay. Left 'em as supplied as I didn't want to fiddle with 'em. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilM Posted January 2, 2019 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mikester Posted January 18, 2019 Members Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
