Eduard Hellcat 1/72 Minsi III
« on: December 07, 2015, 07:36:29 PM »
Pile of kits become larger so I have to clean it up. This is Eduard kit of Hellcat, so nice to be built and I will make with markings of famous ace McCampbell and his 'Minsi III'. Images of main kit parts are here. Start of build is tomorrow ;)

Nothing dramatic but I really hope for better and more quiet times soon...

I think so, too. Incidentally, your Minsi III markings bring back memories for me--the CAF had their real F6F that's painted this way at the hangar in Midland when we worked there.

That photo was in a book in our home (I think an Encyclopedia) when I was a little boy and I remember it so well! A link to a couple of photos of the one that spent time in Midland: http://www.warbirddepot.com/aircraft_fighters_f6f5-cafsc.asp
