Hellcat Model Looking Mighty Fine

Whiplash has finished his Hellcat model's surface paint. All of the various panel lines, rivet heads and macro detail looks great. There are still a small amount of personalization that will come last, but this is the final look of the primary hull. Just one omission stands out - the guns! Whiplash will show those off next time.

A few more hours of labour, and voila! The surface detail painting is done.
Note that the decals such as warning signs and squadron markings are not there yet; those are really fun to paint so I am leaving them for last. Before I can do that, I need to craft the guns, and my next update will show you more on how that was done.
For now, enjoy the pics! I've taken quite a few this time so you can appreciate the ship from more angles.
