Helldiver finsihed PICS....... finally!
First I want to thank Wulf and chukw for the fantastic work on their Helldivers that gave me the push I needed to finish mine. I realize now what made me wait. It had to be the Vac canopy. I found myself trying to find things to do on the model to push off the canopy. This is really my 1st vac canopy with any complexity. And since I only had one shot to get it right I waited ‘til the last minute. Overall not bad but the canopy is one of the areas I would like to have done better. There are a few gaps at the windscreen. But I see why folks use them… nice and thin and a good look.
The model depicts an aircraft off the Essex in about April’45. There was a decal sheet for it but it is OOP. The kit sheet came with a 702 in white so all I had to do was cut it up and reverse the digits and make the black one for the tail. The wing and tail graphics are masked and painted.
Thanks for looking. Comments and critiques welcome.
