This is a pretty basic kit without much detail.I started getting the interior ready for paint. In this case I was going to use Rustoluem texture paint to get that “undercoated” look. Of course that meant masking off the side panels. While the side panels were masked. I went ahead and “undercoated” the chassis. Ties it all together.

The roll bar, tube bumpers, and wheels were painted gloss black and the coated with some powder that’s supposed to look like chrome. It doesn’t but gives a pleasant finish.

I use HOK Stratto blue paint on the body. Lightly wet sanded everything before laying on 2 coast of 2K clear.

Fit is good as there are f parts but it builds iot a nice Bronco

I’d like to thank IPMS and Round 2 for the opportunity to build the kit.

The Scale Aircraft Conversions F6F-3/5 Hellcat (Kit No. B11, also listed as 00241), Stock Number 72206, consists of two sets of six items each in their distinctive plastic bubble and cardboard packaging consisting of the main and tail landing gear, pitot tube and antennae. The landing gear are direct replacements, as is the pitot tube, the tailwheel appears sturdier, and you have the choice of two antennae based on the aircraft being built. Scale Aircraft Conversions was even kind of enough to number the parts cast in the protective white metal. Parts 17-20 are kit parts B17-20; with the tailwheel (No. B17 not being numbered) and the main gear struts are direct replacements for kit parts A24 and A25. Best of all, there are two complete sets provided, so you can build both variants.

Brandon Lowe has introduced the Squadron Cutting Mat in a clear resealable package. This is a very useful tool to protect your modeling desk as well as prolong the life of your blades. This 1/8” thick ‘self-healing’ cutting mat features solid white lines to denote one-inch squares that are subdivided by half-inch squares denoted by dotted white lines. The printed grid is 17-inches by 11-inches with the overall size of the cutting mat, 17.6875” x 11.8125”. Centered on the cutting mat is a Boeing B-17 dorsal view drawing in white; but wait; this cutting mat is also two-sided with a duplicated Boeing B-17 drawing and grid on the other side!
