Hasegawa 1/48 F6F-3 Hellcat
This is a nice kit and goes together well. I only had two issues. The canopy sits too high so I had to file off the bottom to make it sit lower. The bushing inside the engine did not seat properly so the propeller shaft would not [...]
Eduard 1/48 F6F-3
Eduard's Hellcat is a very nice kit with no build complications. Just a gem.
F6F 1/32 Model: Different Expression after Two Years
Two years ago, in March 2022, I built my first 1/32 scale F6F kit: the F6F-5N Night Hellcat. It focused on heavy ocean weathering conditions and used a single color, dark ocean blue, throughout the fuselage and wings.

Eduard 1:48 Grumman F6F-3 Kit #84135
Right off the get go Imma gonna say two things: I'm not happy with Eduard's rendition of the stars and bars and seeking replacements. I've got two for the fuselage but the wings are an odd size. Second, its Eduard so nuff said about the [...]
Trumpeter 1/32 F6F-5 Hellcat
Here are the highlights and the downfalls of Trumpeter's Hellcat. The model captures well the stalky outlines of this great fighter. Wing fold part design is superb. Easy to install and does not strain plastic hinges. A tow tractor kit is [...]
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 [...]
