British Fleet Air Arm Hellcat Mk. I

Post by BlackSheep214 »

Last night I did a simple weathering technique using light grey chalk and water and brush it all over to give her a beater look. The drop tank, I used Testors Black Detail Wash and kept brushing by watering it down constantly to my liking.

Looks real good Tom! :shoutout: :shoutout: :shoutout: Not your typical Hellcat in any way shape or form in those colors. :quotes:

Well done, Tom! She looks great.

Came out looking really good!
March as one, Don't look back
Odin's sons... Attack!
Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall
