Box Opening: 1/48 Eduard Hellcat (Late) ProfiPACK

I picked this up at Telford - let's take a look.

Very nice 👌 😊

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thank you Tammy!

[@davidmarkey4353]

lots of detailed parts, though a bit of cleaning of the mould lines. Thank you for the review

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Hiya David, yeah cleaning up those resin wheels will be a pain. Thanks for watching

[@davidAB779]

Thanks John, nice review. Built a few Eduard kits and not seen seamlines requiring that amount of clean up.

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Thanks David, yeah this will take some work for sure. Cheers

[@athollmcnicoll1028]

Ah the dreaded photo-etch as some might call the Devils Metal but for a modern modeller, a part of the technique aircraft come with to heighten the modelling routines. Cheers John.

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Cheers Atholl! Yeah, in this case it may rescue what otherwise is a vanilla kit.

Cool model. 🛩

[@Steve_8341]

That’s a great build, John. I built one a few years back, tons of fun and fairly easy

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Yes, it is a fun one. Thanks for watching.

I like the resealable/reusable bags.
I wish all companies used them especially those that use staples.
And that painted PE set included, wow, yeah you got it for a steal.. shoulda got two.
Thanks John.

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

I totally agree! Thanks for watching - cheers

[@craigjewkes]

Great box opening John, look forward to seeing the build. I don't have any Eduard kits in my stash, I might test the water.

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

I think I can understand why this was just 19 pounds! I mean without the masks and PE and such this would be a bland kit IMO. Cheers

[@StevenPotts-ij9ue]

Thanks for the review John, thats a nice kit and I can understand your dilemma regarding the markings.

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Right on Steve, I still don't know which one I'm doing

[@ZinzanModelling]

Dear John-Alec,
Perhaps this isn’t up to the standard some might expect but I’m that, sure in your hands, it will look very good!
Regards,
Z

Great review, cheers John 😊👍🏻

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

Glad you enjoyed it Marcus!

I think Eduard have gone down hill, their quality is awful

[@johnalecsscalemodeling]

So not just me, I feel the molding is fairly plain and soft. My first actual kit. Thanks for watching James.
