A very nice start Daniel

 

[hey]

Thank to all for your words.

In this last weeks i don't have much time to go to the workbench but i done some progress.

The engine arrive and i start the work cut out the excess and start painting the cockpit.

 

[papa 695]

Looking very good Daniel and that engine really does look good

 

[hey]

A long time since I've written any thing because i had to stop my projects for health reasons.

I had a problem in the cervical spine that prevented me from being in the same position too long time periods. I stopped being able to do some things like driving and when i went to workbench was always for a short period of time because the pain started soon to appear.

At his time i've done a treatment / surgery and am recovering well but still not allow me to drive but i already can spend some time in the workbench with my models.

I will retaket his model and soon put new advances.

[papa 695]

I hope you have speedy recovery Daniel

 

[hey]

As i don't like the photo etched in the engine, i decide make the wires, i think it looks better.



The construction was very simple and at this time i have all the parts with primer waiting for the paint - i choose the US Navy Aircraft set from Gunze to paint this aircraft and wait this arrive in my hands to start the job.

 

[papa 695]

Nice work with the engine Daniel

 

[hey]

It's my first time with navy aircrafts, any advise to weathering this machine will be very welcome.

 

[steve scan]

Daniel, this is looking a really nice clean build and good detail work.

 

[flyjoe180]

It's my first time with navy aircrafts, any advise to weathering this machine will be very welcome.

Hey Daniel, this is looking awesome so far. As for weathering, go lightly, US Navy aircraft were well looked after; your later-model Hellcat would have worn a gloss paint and been kept very tidy and clean.

 

[Ziper_it]

Building looks perfect, waiting for the color now.
