Cheers Luciano! If we have a place to display our stuff it will surely be on show (else I come to the Bulldogs booth and show it there )

Joel: The base is from Skunkworks Models bought cheap from a HLJ sale. I left it unpainted as it is a nice contrast to the all blue model (it will get some grey paint some day...)

all the best

Steffen, hoping for some good weather for photographs tomorrow

Great finish Steffen, and of course your welcome to display on the Bulldogs stand.

Steffen, been along for the whole build, and the end certainly justifies my staying the course. Your F6F-3 really came out superb. Nice touch with the weathering and the engine exhausts.

Fred, thanks for the heads up. Know that you posted the review, I remember it, and also saying that I wanted to get a few. Will be ordering at least one this week.

Thank you Fred, Luciano and Joel!

@Luciano: Thanks to the great work of Gary Wenko and Richard Kent we got some space in Hall 3. Not in the overseas section but considering the mishap with the paper work it is still great! So Jean-Luc and me will exhibit our latest works .. guess what: it will be Spitfire heavy

all the best

Nice Hellcat Steffen! I have the same kit and was wondering which shade of blue did you use?

Hermann.

I just wrote the article for my website and I found two more pictures on Jean-Luc's T-base (painted by myself)
