Woww ... Awesome! I like your style. It's the kind of "less is more". I have two Hellcats in my stash ... lets see ...
Thanks for the pics ...

Hi Mike, really love this unique build. Can I ask which paints/colours you used?

Interior looks very good. In particular, the motor. Very nice work 👍

Thanks for resurrecting this thread, and for the kind words 🙂
@Stefan, @Graham Unfortunately I built this over 6 years ago and have no recollection of the exact paints, only that I mixed the shade using Xtracrylix paints; sorry guys.
