All decals are applied on kit and now is the time to test washes I get for review :)

Title: Re: Eduard re edition Grumman Hellcat

After small wash panels and access doors become more prominent. Now go with flat clear and then will go with final leaks and dirt.

Excellent machine, No.1!

I really think the faded paint effect works well on this one. It looks like the Pacific sun has been beating down on the airplane for some time!

I am glad you like effect, I try to make just a bit fade out as well paint could fade out much in this area ;)
