The first part of this video shows the use of Photo Etched parts and scratch building techniques on the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit to detail hydraulic pipes and electrical cables professionally and cheaply around both the cockpit and wheel bays. Locitite 406 CA superglue is used in this process combined with CA superglue accelerator/activator to join the two dissimilar materials. Also used are details from Eduard Brassin which are additional parts to the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit box
The second part shows the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit surface preparation techniques such as filling panel gaps and seams with Deluxe Materials Perfect Plastic Putty modelling filler/putty and sanding them smooth to get a seamless join between parts using a range of sand papers from 800, 1200, 2000, and 3000p dpi grit papers. Also Black Basing techniques are included in this section using Mr Hobby "Mr Surfacer 1000, 1200 & 1500 Finishing Surfacer" thinned with Mr Hobby Self Levelling Thinner 400 to prime the surface ready for painting, sprayed through an airbrush using Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline Solo Needle/Nozzle: 0.15mm with Badger 1100 with Anti-Pulsation Tank Working Pressure 22psi (1.51bar).
The third part of the video demonstrates the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit using the BLACK-BASING technique to achieve a pre-weathered look and surface texture replicating that of an aged and worn aircraft. Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline is used with Badger 1100 with Anti-Pulsation Tank Working Pressure 22psi (1.51bar). Also included in this section on the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit is the Engine Exhaust painting using Alclad 2 Lacquers (Airframe Aluminium, Aluminium, Steel, Jet Exhaust, Copper & Pale Burnt Metal) and Tamiya clear paints to create a burnt metal effect. 3 layers of Mr Color GX100 Superclear III thinned with Mr Hobby Self Levelling Thinner 400 seal the decals in. This can be decanted and sprayed through an airbrush such as the Harder & Steenbeck Evolution Silverline Solo.
Decals for the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit follow painting with the aid of Mr Hobby Mr Mark Setter & Softer products. These products allow the decal to form to the shapes of the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit panel lines and surface which you can see in the video.
Next is the weathering of the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit. This is started using Abteilung 502 & Winsor & Newton oil paints thinned with white spirit to a wash consistency. Then used as a panel line wash the oil is applied across the Eduard Grumman Hellcat F6F-5 in 1/48 scale model kit to achieve a dirty, grimey & worn look. Further weathering including unthinned Abteilung 502 Oil Paints to create streaking and water marks, along with AK Interactive weathering Pigments (Gun Metal, Russian Earth, Europe Earth, Medium Rust and Pigment Fixer, Worn Effects, Dark Streaking Grime Rainmark Effects) concludes weathering.

Such a beautiful job of this magnificent aircraft. The paint is spot on. I'm 70 years old and my uncle flew these birds off the carrier Wasp. He had pictures of him and his buddies on the deck with the birds in the background. You've done an excellent rendition of this bird. Thank you.
Thank you and what a great insight! Thanks for watching :)
I love the way you have approached the sea blue finish of the late war Hellcat .
As you probably found out, many of those schemes didn’t weather too badly so there isn’t much to play with.
The early dash 3 Hellcats had the 3 colour scheme and the land based ones really ended up mucky .
Brilliant job and plenty of inspiration!
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
The only thing I find more brilliant than your weathering techniques is the fact you took the time to share it with the rest of us! Excellent build and great tutorial!
A little late perhaps but i love this format with the classical music in the background. Its the next most relaxing thing to building. I really enjoyed this video!
Thank you. I try to keep the videos a little calmer than I used to for what is hopefully a more relaxing experience lol. Thanks for watching, more like this to come! :)
I've never even thought of using a scouring pad for stippling.
And love how you made the anti-slip pads with Mr Surfacer. Genius!
So much gold in this, thank you --
I am very glad I stumbled upon this great video because I have the same model and can use it as a guide. The WWII Grumman birds will always have a special place in my heart, not only because they were war-winning aircraft but because my Nana helped build them during the War. You all know they preferred small-statured folks because they fit in the airframes better, that's where Nana came in; she installed wiring harnesses.
Excellent build. Especially the lighter color wash on the top technique for the dust & sun bleaching. It really gives that baking on an aircraft carrier in the south pacific sun feel. I have had the Eduard 1/48 F6F-5N sitting in my closet for at least 4 years. This video has finally given me the courage to attempt it. Thank you!
Thank you. This kit is realy good and a nice build too. Best of luck with yours and thanks for watching :)
You are a master of your craft, I am an aviation artist and I actually watch your vids to see detailing and finish for my portraits, that's how good you are
Thank you so much! That's so cool! Thank you for watching and I'm pleased that they are helping you in a unique way. Could you share a link to your work? I'd like to see it :)
Great job. I would know those tail stripes anywhere. That plane sortied off my father’s ship during WW2. He probably touched it. As a matter of fact he had pictures of that plane from the war. Hard not to get misty seeing it. Great job. Thanks
Cool! My uncle flew a Hellcat! I think he was on the Essex, but I'm not sure.
I think I'm wrong about the name of the carrier..
@@alanmooney3466 yes the Essex was CV-9 the first of the class, My dad was on the USS Randolph, CV-15. He was a plank holder of the ship. He never got it though. Wonderful memories.
@@alanmooney3466 My grandfather was a Hellcat pilot on the Essex. Didn't expect to see a comment like this watching this video.

Beautiful job! I must say this was my Father's favorite aircraft. He was a Navy man and used to talk about this and others. As he was a novice modeler and got me into modeling when I was a wee lad. My first aircraft build was the Revell Stuka back in the early 70s. I enjoy your channel and have learned alot. New subscriber.
Best model making videos in Britain.This video really has the right combination of visual,narration and music(and I normally dislike music on Model vids).An excellent build presented superbly.!
In watching this again, I am amazed at color sanding of decal clear coat, a subject not mentioned on other videos. Brilliant idea, and I love the use of lighter panel line shading. A most realistic and outstanding finish, weathering and rivet/stressed skin effect. This plane should be an award winner. All cool man everyone ,everything involved here!
Thank you. Yes you don't see much flatting of the decals in other videos - especially not aircraft models anyway. I think it helps unify the surface texture better than leaving the decals raised as we always strive to get that painted on look. Having examined a lot of models and methods vs the real life subject and reference images, you find most modellers darken the panel lines, when it should actually be lighter. Taking into account the enviroment the real subject would have been kept in, it would be more likely the panel filled with dust when based in a dry climate vs one that had been operated in a moist and colder one. Thank you and thanks for watching :)
I recently built Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk 5b, and used the 25 year old decals. The Badger liquid Decal Film really works, and kept the Decals together. In decaling it, I noticed alot of film and jagged edges. I thought, I wonder if acrylic clear coat can be color sanded. For the removal of decal clear film edges, and for the sake of not having more clear coat than necessary, and paint smoothness, this seems doable thanks to this informative video. I will experiment first on a scrap project
Loved your videos!! So far you're the most detailed modeller compared with other modellers.
Thank you so much! I try to put as much thought into my models as I can and try to get more complex with each build. Thanks again and thank you for watching :)
Greetings from Spain! Awesome build, so much to learn from it... These videos are a great help to cope with these strange times. Very inspiring :-)
One of your most Nerd-A-Licious builds today. I like the idea of fishing line for the antenna. Absolutely brilliant.
Hey everyone I hope you enjoyed the video and thanks for watching. I thought I'd give the stressed skin effect a go on this one using some wartime reference images. Hope you can see the difference 2 years makes also between the Tamiya Corsair and this one!
**You may notice I state AK washes when on fact I am using Ammo by Mig. For some reason I thought that Ammo was part of AK despite all bar one of my washes are from Ammo. Sorry if that is confusing but now you know**
Happy modelling and stay safe!
The Inner Nerd
The stressed skin effect was a great success. It looks very realistic. Well done as always. Stay safe everyone!
As far as I know Ammo Mig and Abteilung 502 are both product lines of AK. So you were not so wrong there
Your skill, attention and care honor the engineers, pilots and support crew of this historic aircraft.
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Absolutely stunning job
Watched this build a couple times now...Lots of info on weathering over dark based aircraft which will be of benefit making my HK 1/48 Lanc...Big thanks for the vid...From Chesterfield, UK
Thank you and I'm pleased to hear that the video is useful for other models too. Dark schemes are a little tricky to weather compared to the usual greens and greys since a lot of the dirt is dark too. Hope the Lanc goes well! Thanks for watching, Cheshire, UK :)
Also should add that I have three of these in the stash and this will be the video that finally inspires me to build one of them.
Thank you lol
stunning, just bought the latest version of this kit. Cant wait!
Thank you and thanks for watching:)
Love the description of work. Much more helpful than just video and text.
Beautiful job!!
I am blown away by the detail & the care put into these model builds simply superb
Amazing, I love the scratch-built add-ons. Looks absolutely awesome
Wow, the manual skills of a neurosurgeon and the vision of an artist.
Brilliant build of one of my favorite WW2 warbirds. I built the Monogram version as a lad.
Thank you and thanks for watching. This kit is down as one of my favourites WW2 subjects :)
Superb, you’ve given me a lot of weathering ideas for the Airfix 1/24 scale kit. I had just decided to go for this very colour scheme in the larger scale and then I noticed this video. Great timing!
Some of the best builds on the tube! Great results and another couple of tips I haven't seen.
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Thank you for letting me watch this video a friend of mine descent me on 1/48 scale version from America it's wrong naval air station version
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
brother you motivate me to keep building.
That's great! I hope I can continue to motivate you with building your own models!
Eduard makes such excellent kits and of course legendary add-ons for greater detail. Praise to the Czech people! And these videos are always equally excellent. 👍
Yes they are great kits - never had a bad one and this was one of the best! Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Thanks for the great tutorial. No nonsense....love it! And your work simply speaks for itself- well done!
Amazing skills and details. Absolutely stunning!
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Very detailed and skillfully crafted...nice job!
Love the build and techniques you used. I'll be building my Hasagawa 1/32 Hellcat and you gave me some great ideas, cheers!
I just checked the spelling, ( if I remember correctly, may have been named after a person) Frise type hinge. On ailerons having a nose portion just ahead of of hinge axis, and a lower surface in line with lower surface. On your elevator, if in neutral close that gap as per kit part. And or put the individual hinges into those two on each side rectangular recesses in the elevators. The inner and outer cool man, cool! Great build!
Okay thanks for the info. Thank you for watching :)
Dear Sir: You do some fine work! Excellent!
Great work. Great video. Always a pleasure to watch your builds.
This is the best Hellcat build on UA-cam
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Stunning work!
That looks AMAZING, if you put it in a base that looks like an aircraft carrier runway or something like that it would be a museum piece
Excellent tutorial. Lovely build.
Very interesting and effective weathering! Great result!👍
Beautifully done! Great job.
Impresionante trabajo. Enhorabuena. Gracias por compartirlo
The boot print is ingenious! Vid is pleasant to watch and shows very good technics and new stuff I learned. Especially the sanding which I am always afraid of doing.
Niiice!-for years I’ve used graphites and ash from fires; as well as, charcoal along with makeup daubers to create wear and tear. You’re a master at the salt damage to this Navy classic!
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
I did the Night Fighter version & it was a truly great, easy & very Satisfying add to my fighter shelf🤗
Very well done!!!!! I love di idea of using the green sponge as brush stencil
I cant believe i watched the whole video, your work is captivating, very impressive, my hats off to you thanks:))
what a outstanding build.
Very nice build.
Great surface finish!
Fantastic model of the most successful fighter of WW2..
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Stunning, pretty much says it all for fantastic work. Bravo.
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Really cool looking warbird. I like your weathering technique! Greetings Ben
Excellent work.
Beautiful work. Great video!
Lovely work old Chap, most enjoyable to watch!!
Every time i see this videos my heart slows a little so i cannot say nothing but this:
CONGRATULATIONS !!
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Отличная работа!!! Как всегда на высоте!
Great job. I'm learning a lot with you. Thanks from spain.
Daaaaamn!
Looks phenomenal! Great work as always
The splatter using the sponges is a superb idea
Absolutely beautiful, awesome details you put to your models. Til the next have a good one, you and your family stay safe and healthy and as always take care my friend
Excellent work! Makes me want to get one too!
Beautiful work! Great job, keep up the good work. 👍
Awesome! Plain and simple!
Very nice video love the weather techniques throughout 🏆👍
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Lovely workflow, enjoyed it.
Stunning build!!
Wow...great vid. Talent!!
A brilliant build, and really well presented, fantastic 👍👍😁
A great build, I likec the stressed skin. I look forward to your next build.
Great paint and weathering! Stressed skin and rivets most enviable! Use of scotch pad and post painting outstandimg! The ailerons and elevator show less gap in neutral and are hinged behind their leading edge to allow opposite airflow forces to assist in moving these control surfaces. Called the freeze type hinge. I'll check the spelling. etc. All cool man, nothing Nerdy about builders, that's for sure!
Великолепная модель! Magnificent model!
A beautiful build & great video!
That's Frickin Amazing Work!! Great build my friend
Superb model 👍 well made and a great video looking forward to seeing the next project 🙂
Absolutely beautiful build!
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
lovely build mate!!!!
Stunning, thank you for sharing!
Thank you and thanks for watching :)
Nice tail stripes. I love the chromate base. A very nice build and paint job. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. I wanted to paint this one up in the order of the real aircraft. I think the Chromate base helped tint the blue slightly over a black base I normally use. Thanks for watching :)
Great video and great build
nice tips about the super-glue, stressed skin, scourer as a mask and that boot-print is inspired
Hi, it's nice work. It's easy to understand painting and step building. Thank you !
Very nice work
