Thank you gentlemen, am late with the replies due to being glued to the TV on the happenings across the Pacific and Atlantic. Looking forward to better days to finish the Hellcat.

Cheers,
Richard

I got stalled but am picking up ever since I got an idea of the layout to display the Hellcat. I was thinking a row of two Hellcats along a rail track next to the riverbank shelling the opposite side of the river. It occurred when I arranged the tanks by accident like this...

Oh dear, plans for me can be shelved for long periods. While I was preparing some paint for my current Spitfire build, I mixed some Nato black and neutralised all the different mediums that were on the Hellcat that I corrected with a coat of the mix. This was done after carefully masking the exposed turret interior with masking tape and wet tissue.

And this is a slightly better angle...

But I've run out of backing backdrop paper. :smiling6:
