Hellcat Mk II – Eduard weekend edition 1/48

Time to start my Swedish Secret Santa build. I got this kit on a Swedish forum in a Secret Santa kit exchange.

Weekend edition usally means a somewhat simpler kit with only one decal option and no etch or other extra stuff.

As usual the build starts with the cockpit. I checked the cockpit colour and then painted it interior green. There’s decals provided for the instrument panels, so after giving the panels a clear cote and letting it dry, I could add the decals. I think the colour match is quite nice.
I also assembled the fuel tank and engine, and engine cowling.

Next will be to paint some more on the engine, put the last decal in place, assemble the cockpit and then glue the fuselage together.
