Today I finally finished up a commission build for a friend on another Forums. This is the Dragon 1/72 scale F-6F 5N Hellcat night fighter.

This is one of nine models I finished up this week. The rest are in the armor forums.

Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

After posting this, some sharp-eyed members on a couple other Forums noticed a major mistake I'd made. Here is the corrected model all finished... properly now. See if you can spot the difference:

Now that this is truly done, I'll be making arrangements for delivery here. Thanks again everyone!

Thanks for the compliments guys. Joe, in all the photos I've seen of Hellcat night fighters, the prop tips were always black. That's why I left them that way. I think it was to help keep the plane from being spotted at night. The instruction painting guide also showed pure black blades.
