Hi Paolo, welcome to Armorama
A very nice hellcat, particularly for the scale.
Apart from whether you hand brushed or sprayed it, what brand of paints did you use.
Tells a bit more about you and your modelling habits.
Have you seen the Model of the month voting?

Hi Paolo

Welcome to Armorama! As you can see, this is a deadly serious forum! ... "with blue paint!" - honestly! LOL!

It's great to see you dive straight in and share your work with us. Nice job! - just to add to everyone's questions... are they the kit decals?

All the best
