1/72 Academy F6F Hellcat

by Li Weiguang 

--------------------

 

I bought this 1/72 small kit just for the VF-27 cat mouth.  I saw this skin for the first time in a beta version of computer sim game "pacific fighters".  My friends and I spent much time on this F6F, practicing carrier lands in PF.  Today, most of us have "grounded".  So, I built this F6F in memory of those happy sleepless flying nights which have gone with the wind.

I made some mistakes when I applied the wash to it with acrylic XF-1, that's why you see a dirty cat instead of a hellcat here.
