Eduard Hellcat F6F-5N Profipack 1:72 Full Build

My first ever Eduard model, the profipack version of the 1:72 Hellcat F6F-5N Nightfighter. Very good quality, well crafted and designed, a really fun model to build. Feel free to leave a comment.

A fine job on the Hellcat....and in 1/72 scale to boot!! Congratulations.

Thank you very much! :)

I built an academy hellcat last weekend and felt like I didn't do the justice for the formidable hellcat. Going to follow your guide to build an eduard kit, looks great!!

[@wbpsmodels3452]

That little eduard kit was one of the best kits I've ever laid my hands on... Crisp, well defined, totally no flash, well engineered... You're going to have a lot of fun building it! Thanx for watching :)

[@strikeeaglemodels1588]

Super workmanship on the Hellcat matey 👍😊

[@wbpsmodels3452]

Thank you!Coming from you, it's a great compliment. :)

[@al8955]

Very nice build and it looks brilliant. It's a pity the marble effect seems to have disappeared under the dark sea blue. Keep up the good work!

[@wbpsmodels3452]

Thank you Al. The marbling effect is in fact barely visible indeed.. I guess I should have been a little more thrifty with the blue.

@@wbpsmodels3452 It's so easy to get carried away... I do it all the time 😂

[@drhs2534]

Lovely build! What's the sticky pencil thing you use to pick up/place tiny parts?

[@itsjustafad]

This has been a super useful vid as I build mine. No where near the quality of workmanship on show here, but its my first time with PE parts.

[@itsjustafad]

Also, didn't see a decal for the right-hand cockpit console in my set, just ended up painting it.

[@wbpsmodels3452]

That was my first time too.. Good luck with your build. Thanks for watching :)

[@itsjustafad]

[@vaclavvyhnalek2520]

hi, what glue did you use to glue the metal dashboard on the deacoy in the cockpit.

[@wbpsmodels3452]

CA (cyanoacrylic) Glue, aka super glue!

[@aaronhutt274]

Great build. Is it possible to have a link to the gloss varnish you used. Cheers.

[@wbpsmodels3452]

Thank you ! I used Vallejo varnish (most of my paints are Vallejo as well).

[@robertomander6030]

can you tell me what kind of glue did you use to fix the metal parts of the canopy up the pannel transfer???

[@wbpsmodels3452]

I used CA (Cyanoacrylic) Glue for the PE parts. CA glue is known as... Super glue!

[@jackpenny1910]

what paintbrush do you use to paint the tiny details? I might get one of them

[@wbpsmodels3452]

It's a "no name" Chinese one.. The named brand is "Nasedal" 0,2mm, got it from Ali express last year.

[@datamek]

Brutal chipping destroyed a whole magic...Otherwise nice work
