Sneak Peak - Airstrike Toys - Series 3 - USS Tulagi Hellcat
Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2008 10:18 pm
Finished with Series 3 - Plane #1 - F6F Hellcat - USS Tulagi.
I'm still working on the correct lighting to get the right color. As you can see the photo, not the model, has a yellowish tint.
Looking for feedback on the exhaust plume. I spent a lot of time researching this characteristic of the Hellcats and most I could find had a rust / black soot plume down both sides and under belly of the plane. Also, you can see the exhaust is applied after the decals so everything should blend well vs. have a stark white number over the weathering.
Lexington should be ready this coming weekend.
Thanks.
