SÓ que nem o modelista sabe nada sobre o bicho:
When I saw the actual photo of this plane, I just knew I had to build it. Other than the quite unusual white paint trim, it's pretty much a standard WWII tri-color Hellcat. I'm pretty sure it was from a Navy squadron but I have yet to identify which one. In any event, it was a straight-forward build with no complications. In my opinion, that Hasegawa kit is one of the best Hellcat models currently available. I built mine pretty much out of the box with the exception of an Eduard color cockpit set, True Details weighted wheels (trimmed down a bit) and the rear vac canopy also from True Details. The kit canopy would not allow it to be installed in the open position and I wanted to have it open. The model is airbrushed with Model Master enamel paint. The decals came from ye ole decal stash box except for the planes name Lolly and the pilots name which were custom printed for me. My thanks to Pip Moss and Joseph Osborn for making those decals possible. It was necessary to substitute the 'girl' art. I'm pretty sure my grandsons would have enjoyed it but their mother would probably have smacked me. The final photo in the batch is a shot of the actual plane out in the South Pacific in 1944. Any comments or observations about this Hellcat are welcome.
.Tinha que ficar igual a original! Nuazinha.
Great Job Jim.
