Default Eduard 1/72 Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat

First time I played around with the airspray chipping technique.
The model is based on Lt. Alexander Vraciu's plane circa June 1944

Great job on the build.

Is Eduard worth the premium money?

This was the first Eduard model I build, I found the decals to be a little thick, but other than that it was a good quality model and fun to build.

As far as I know Eduard has 2 "lines" of models, the "weekend edition" and the "ProfiPack edition" that has higher detailing, and is perhaps a bit more expensive.
This model is a weekend edition and only cost me 12.5€ in my local model shop here in Portugal....from what I see in the store website most of their 1/72 plane models fluctuate between 13 and 20 euro, so they aren't that premium.

I got a few Eduard kits. The Profipack ones. They are a little more expensive, but not by a ridiculous amount. I think they're well worth the extra.
