The first part of this video shows the use of Photo Etched parts and scratch building techniques on the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit to detail hydraulic pipes and electrical cables professionally and cheaply around both the cockpit and wheel bays. Locitite 406 CA superglue is used in this process combined with CA superglue accelerator/activator to join the two dissimilar materials. Also used are details from Eduard Brassin which are additional parts to the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit box
The second part shows the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit surface preparation techniques such as filling panel gaps and seams with Deluxe Materials Perfect Plastic Putty modelling filler/putty and sanding them smooth to get a seamless join between parts using a range of sand papers from 800, 1200, 2000, and 3000p dpi grit papers. Also Black Basing techniques are included in this section using Mr Hobby "Mr Surfacer 1000, 1200 & 1500 Finishing Surfacer" thinned with Mr Hobby Self Levelling Thinner 400 to prime the surface ready for painting, sprayed through an airbrush using Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline Solo Needle/Nozzle: 0.15mm with Badger 1100 with Anti-Pulsation Tank Working Pressure 22psi (1.51bar).
The third part of the video demonstrates the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit using the BLACK-BASING technique to achieve a pre-weathered look and surface texture replicating that of an aged and worn aircraft. Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline is used with Badger 1100 with Anti-Pulsation Tank Working Pressure 22psi (1.51bar). Also included in this section on the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit is the Engine Exhaust painting using Alclad 2 Lacquers (Airframe Aluminium, Aluminium, Steel, Jet Exhaust, Copper & Pale Burnt Metal) and Tamiya clear paints to create a burnt metal effect. 3 layers of Mr Color GX100 Superclear III thinned with Mr Hobby Self Levelling Thinner 400 seal the decals in. This can be decanted and sprayed through an airbrush such as the Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline Solo.
Decals for the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit follow painting with the aid of Mr Hobby Mr Mark Setter & Softer products. These products allow the decal to form to the shapes of the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit panel lines and surface which you can see in the video.
Next is the weathering of the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit. This is started using Abteilung 502 & Winsor & Newton oil paints thinned with white spirit to a wash consistency. Then used as a panel line wash the oil is applied across the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit to achieve a dirty, grimey & worn look. Further weathering including unthinned Abteilung 502 Oil Paints to create streaking and water marks, along with AK Interactive weathering Pigments (Gun Metal, Russian Earth, Europe Earth, Medium Rust and Pigment Fixer, Worn Effects, Dark Streaking Grime Rainmark Effects) concludes weathering.
Items Used
Airbrush: Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline Solo Needle/Nozzle: 0.15mm Compressor: Badger 1100 with Anti-Pulsation Tank Working Pressure 22psi (1.51bar) Paint: Mr Hobby Mr Surfacer 1000, Mr Hobby Mr Surfacer 1200 & Mr Hobby Mr Finishing Surfacer 1500 thinned with cellulose lacquer thinner Tamiya Acrylics thinned with Tamiya X-20A Thinner Mr Hobby Aqueous Abteilung 502 Oils - Black / Industrial Earth / Olive Green Winsor & Newton Oils - Yellow Ochre / Raw Umber / Burnt Sienna / White AK Interactive Pigments - Gun Metal, Europe Earth, Russian Earth, Medium Rust, Pigment Fixer Vallejo Masking Fluid Winsor & Newton UV Cut Matte Enamel Varnish Brushes: Pure Sable Brush - Various Sizes Glue: Tamiya Extra Thin Cement Tamiya Poly Cement Revell Contacta Professional Loctite 406 CA Superglue Sanding: 3M 600p / 800p / 1200p / 2000p / 3000p sheets & sponges Tamiya Polishing Compounds (Course, Fine & Finish)

Such a beautiful job of this magnificent aircraft. The paint is spot on. I'm 70 years old and my uncle flew these birds off the carrier Wasp. He had pictures of him and his buddies on the deck with the birds in the background. You've done an excellent rendition of this bird. Thank you.

I love the way you have approached the sea blue finish of the late war Hellcat . As you probably found out, many of those schemes didn’t weather too badly so there isn’t much to play with. The early dash 3 Hellcats had the 3 colour scheme and the land based ones really ended up mucky . Brilliant job and plenty of inspiration!

I am very glad I stumbled upon this great video because I have the same model and can use it as a guide. The WWII Grumman birds will always have a special place in my heart, not only because they were war-winning aircraft but because my Nana helped build them during the War. You all know they preferred small-statured folks because they fit in the airframes better, that's where Nana came in; she installed wiring harnesses.

Excellent build. Especially the lighter color wash on the top technique for the dust & sun bleaching. It really gives that baking on an aircraft carrier in the south pacific sun feel. I have had the Eduard 1/48 F6F-5N sitting in my closet for at least 4 years. This video has finally given me the courage to attempt it. Thank you!

In watching this again, I am amazed at color sanding of decal clear coat, a subject not mentioned on other videos. Brilliant idea, and I love the use of lighter panel line shading. A most realistic and outstanding finish, weathering and rivet/stressed skin effect. This plane should be an award winner. All cool man everyone ,everything involved here!

@TheInnerNerd 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you. Yes you don't see much flatting of the decals in other videos - especially not aircraft models anyway. I think it helps unify the surface texture better than leaving the decals raised as we always strive to get that painted on look. Having examined a lot of models and methods vs the real life subject and reference images, you find most modellers darken the panel lines, when it should actually be lighter. Taking into account the enviroment the real subject would have been kept in, it would be more likely the panel filled with dust when based in a dry climate vs one that had been operated in a moist and colder one. Thank you and thanks for watching :)

I recently built Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk 5b, and used the 25 year old decals. The Badger liquid Decal Film really works, and kept the Decals together. In decaling it, I noticed alot of film and jagged edges. I thought, I wonder if acrylic clear coat can be color sanded. For the removal of decal clear film edges, and for the sake of not having more clear coat than necessary, and paint smoothness, this seems doable thanks to this informative video. I will experiment first on a scrap project

My first aircraft build was the Revell Stuka back in the early 70s. I enjoy your channel and have learned alot. New subscriber.

On ailerons having a nose portion just ahead of of hinge axis, and a lower surface in line with lower surface. On your elevator, if in neutral close that gap as per kit part.
