Gorgeous pits Doogs! Really like em. Those Hobbyboss cats are great in OOB detail, fit, price and ease of building. My hellcat (as i hoped and expected) is no different from that.
BTW, glad to hear nobody got hurt in the quake Scorpionmikey. I remember a little quake when i was a little boy with a force of 7.0 about 200 miles away. Still trembled me awake and out of bed from that far. I clearly remember wondering what the h*ck just happened![Big Smile](/emoticons/emotion-2.gif)
Anyways.... my WIP post....
Work on the hellcat is going at a steady pace and without trouble sofar. Only have to fill up the wing roots a bit and finalize construction before it hits the booth somewhere next week:

Due to the design of the model with "slots" for the wings this part went together seamless and without any filling up whatsoever.

The interior of the wings is very detailed OOB. Added a black wash to dirty it up. Still have to drybrush it a bit...
And when i dryfit the lot it looks like this:

Think i will paint the wings separate from the aircraft due to them being so close to the fuselage and to make masking work easier. News to follow soon! Thanks for watching![Yes](/emoticons/emotion-21.gif)
