1:72 F6F Hellcat Dragon/Cyber-Hobby

I haven't gotten much of anything done on this other than the priming and some interior paintng. To be honest I am a little intimidated by this kit.

And here is why, that's the pilot seat. There are some PE seat belts to be added. I put the toothpick in there for a sense of scale. It is tiny!

And those are the belts. Those are 'inches' on the scale!

This is why I do 1/48!  I have no idea how you guys can consistently make such convincing, accurate, and detailed builds in 1/72, it just amazes me.

I can't wait to see the build as well as the final product!  Wow, that seat is very small.

Wow! SO many parts! That's more than most 1/48 kits I've built. I'll definitely look forward to seeing this one come along.

I'm on board for watching you work on this Hellcat. It will be quite interesting to see how the Cyber Hobby builds up compared to the Eduard that I just completed. That's quite the parts count for it for sure. I know that you will be just fine UM.

Here is an interesting link to an article on Hyperscale that compares the Eduard Hellcat and the Cyber Hobby one. I think you'll find some good tips for helping you out with your build.

Beautifully molded parts, I hope the fit is as good as these parts deserve. I'll be waiting in the ready room, all set to see this one get going. Thanks for the post and photos.

Nice to see more 72nd builds on here. Looks like a nice kit.

Not really going to get to far on this one till the B25 is finished up more or less.

So don't expect rapid progress

Thanks for all the remarks and links everyone. Every little bit is helpful!

I couldn't agree more! This is exactly why I stay with 1/48, the 1/72's would drive me crazy. Big time props to anyone that can build at these small scales!

Well now you guys have challenged me! I am closing in on the finish of the B25 this kit is next in line!

That is a lot of parts for such a small kit. Looking forward to the build.

Nice to see the deck display base included in the kit - what a cool feature! Hope it turns out to be as fun to build as it looks.

Cool kit.

This one is similar to the Accurate miniatures one I have in the stash , only at 1/48 scale.  I opened the box , perused the parts count and included PE and closed it up ....total intimidation .

I'm anxious to see your build on this kit so it will make me feel better about mine LOL
