| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 09-May-08 02:47 |  | | Views : 4362 | | I guess you'll have to take my word for it, but the last of the tailfeathers are now covered. All that remains are the wing and fuse. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 29-Apr-08 02:28 |  | | Views : 4484 | | Horizontal stabilizer and ailerons covered with Doculam. Thinking about covering the fuse and wing leaves me aprehensive, but I guess it just requires lots of time and care. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 19-Mar-08 21:22 |  | | Views : 4670 | | All of the electronics and geared parts were removed for sanding. Sanding went quickly as all of the parts fit very well and I had already shaped the LE and TE. This one goes into the hanger till I sort out the covering options. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 19-Mar-08 02:56 |  | | Views : 4917 | | The obligatory lap about the floor under power. About all that remains is to sand and cover, and I am in limbo about what to cover it with. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 23:25 |  | | Views : 1380 | | All of the bones weigh in at 5.6 oz. Not included is the radio, landing gear, covering, plastics, and the part of the fuse that extends below the wing. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 23:23 |  | | Views : 1263 | | Tailfeathers ready to be sanded and covered. |

| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 23:23 |  | | Views : 1158 | | The lower "hs3" part in the picture was not notched on the end, but the other part served as a pattern to correct the error. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 23:21 |  | | Views : 1177 | | Wing skeleton ready for sanding and covering. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 18:06 |  | | Views : 1071 | | This picture illustrates how tight the joints on this plane are. There is no glue in the outer wing sections and no sanding was required to obtain a proper fit. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 07-Mar-08 17:01 |  | | Views : 1145 | | Wing center section is complete (sans flight gear and top front spar). |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 06-Mar-08 05:00 |  | | Views : 1236 | | Center section of the wing almost done. |
| SteveM | Molt Models Hellcat | Build | 06-Mar-08 04:58 |  | | Views : 1356 | | Fuselage with motor, battery, and a pair of servos. Weight is already at 118.3 grams (4.17 oz). |
