Eduard 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat

I've strarted on my next project. Eduards 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat in the new boxing and I believe the new Eduard decals that have the carrier film that is removed after the decal has set, I will be doing some experiments with some unused markings to find out for sure and do some research on how to properly use them. The molds for this kit are starting to show their age with a good amount of flash and just recently found out a bad wing root connection, no photo of the problem area yet. A few extras I got for this is HGW belts, Eduard spACE 3d decals for the cockpit and Master brass gun barrels.
I since this version of the Hellcat has side windows on the fuselage behind the pilots seat, I scratch built some bracing that can be seen through them. It's not 100% accurate and 80% of what I built can't be seen but in the end I'm glad I added it. More of the bracing can be seen in the video.
Here's where I'm at right now, hope to have more to show by the end of the week
