Well done!

Looks great all cleaned up. Are you going to paint her like the box art?
Thanks,
John

I did forget to mention I had a heart attack when I noticed one of the gear doors snapped off. Thankfully, I found it on my bench and glued it back on with Gorilla glue. 
I do have to be very careful not to snap off the underwing and both top antennas when I start airbrushing. The tail rudder one is molded in.

I hear ya there Tom. I try to leave off all those breakable little items until last and paint them separately beforehand.

Ahh, don't worry about it! Happens all the time....to me. Glad you were able to recover the part and re-install it.

Re: British Fleet Air Arm Hellcat Mk.I
Due to warm temps in Central NY, I took advantage of spraying primer through rattle can yesterday on the Hellcat. Saves me time cleaning the airbrush.
Spent little time on the bench painting the propellers. Pics forthcoming...
