Eduard 1/72 F6F-3
VF-27 was first established as VGF-27 at NAS Norfolk, VA in April 1942. Redesignated as VF-27 in March 1943 and initially equipped with F4F-4 Wildcats, it was a busy squadron, taking part in many operations. In early 1944 it was [...]
The Somewhat Unappreciated Hasegawa F6F Hellcat
I've been away from iModeler for quite a while, but I haven't been sitting idle.
I've been tinkering with several "Shelf of Doom" projects in various stages of construction, and i decided to rebuild and repair a favourite of mine [...]

Greetings, friends and modelers. Back posting again after life got busy.
I'm easing my way back to modeling by repairing and upgrading an old Fujimi F6F I had originally done in the 1990s. Decals had flaked and my repairs were [...]

F6F-3 Hellcat (Eduard 1/48)
This is recently re-issued 8227 ProfiPack with a well-known Hellcat in this scale. I wanted to try new Eduard aftermarket offerings, so I've added 3D printed wheel bays and bronze legs. It's nice additions to the quite old kit, especially [...]
1/72 F6F-5 Hellcat
My attempt to make headway on my stash of unbuilt kits settled on a second 1/72 Academy F6F this week. In 2021 I built this kit as Alex Vraciu's F6F-3 - (link). This time I would build the kit as a F6F-5 in overall Glossy Sea Blue.

Hellcat F6F-5 1/48 Hobbyboss
A few years ago I was at a local club day admiring the work done by my fellow modelers and mooching through the boxes under the tables of models for sale (always the best bit of the day for me) when I came across the Hobbyboss Hellcat, I [...]
