My attempt at Tridents' resin/PE M18 Hellcat. No boxart or sprues to speak of. First pic just starting.

Progress pics. Distructions were atrocious as usual. Trying to cram the crew into the turret will be a challenge as there is little room after gun, ready rack, & seats. The flat PE is well done but the round stuff is still flat so will/have use less of it as the wire grabs attest.
Grillwork & fenders were well done but likely won't use all the fenders.

Moving right along....potential crew & CITB.
Not a bad job on that resin kit looks good

That scale is far too small for me, I can only wish you the very best. You must have very good eyesight Paul.

Nice Paul but CITB?? I could guess but I 100% guarantee I'd be wrong!!!
CrapInTheBack refers to misc. items piled on the vehicle. Not applicable to aircraft.
Getting closer. Paint touchup, weathering & commander next.
Sorry Paul,I completely missed this until now!! I do like the Hellcats,and you're making a damned fine job of this one mate.... following the rest of the build closely from here on in

That is excellent Paul. A tiny resin kit - not easy.

Excellent work - that certainly looked a challenge but you've bested it.
I still hate resin. Calling this done as it will be part of a US WWII armor display.
