guaguachong Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 this time i build one of the most famous and most successful AMerican fighters in WWII. the Gruman's Great F6F. this is a hasegawa F6F3 decaled as one of the most successful pilots, Lt. Alexander Vracius. noticed the mark of his plane, coming from the same group with Edward O'hare who was a legend. he shot down 6 japanese bombers in one mission ALONE!!! with his old F4F wildcat. he was the first Ace of US navy in WWII. Lt. Alexandera Vraciu is just as successful as his CO and mentor. i did some modifies: 1. eduard seatbelts 2. drill out gun barrels. 3. drill out engine pumps. 4. brake wire. 5. cushion on the seat shadowing and weathering with different colors. one day i worked until four in the morning :) the result is ok for me. hope i can do better in the future. these are pictures, enjoy: thank you for watching, comments are welcome.

ghodges Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 One of my favorite planes in one of my favorite markings (and I have my own on the shelf to prove it!). That looks great Ying. What did you use for the contrasting panel lines? GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
