F6F5 Hellcat Aircraft

This was my first experience with an Eduard model, and without a doubt it was the most fun I’ve had building a model yet. The profi packs are amazing. The colored cockpit photo etch details are superb and give a crazy amount of realism. The precut masking tapes made the canopy the best I’ve ever done. The model itself was very well molded. All of the pieces fit well, and only a little sanding and puttying was needed. Eduard also gives 4 different options for pilots and planes. I also like that there is a small bio for each. The decals were also very fine, and I didn’t even need to use any setting solution. They went on, dried, and looked like they had been painted there. The only drawback that I can think of is that the detail is so great that it’s probably not a good fit for beginning modelers. Other than that I cannot sing this model’s praise enough.
