Hasegawa 1/48 F6F-5
I enjoyed this build and glad it's finally done. I used a Quickboost engine (wired and pushrods added), the Obscureco cowl, CMK flaps, Eduard etch and a True Details resin seat in the cockpit. Paint is MM Glossy Sea Blue with a Polly [...]
Grumman Hellcat 1 – No 800 Squadron, Fleet Air Arm (Royal Navy) – 1/32
Not having seen one in real life, I hadn't fully appreciated how big the F6F was until I built this kit and parked it alongside other WW2 fighters of the same scale.
This is from the Trumpeter 1/32 F6F-3 kit. OOB except for Eduard cockpit [...]
Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat
This 1/48 scale Hellcat carries the distinctive markings from VF-27. Definitely the most ferocious looking Hellcat squadron in the US Navy! This Hellcat probably went down with the USS Princeton when she was mortally wounded by a bomb [...]

When I saw the actual photo of this plane, I just knew I had to build it. Other than the quite unusual white paint trim, it's pretty much a standard WWII tri-color Hellcat. I know it was from a Navy squadron but I have yet to identify [...]
F6F-5 Hellcat (Eduard ProfiPack 1/72)
Hi there!
This is my F6F-5 Hellcat "Paperdoll"
This kit was built straight from the box, it comes with a comprehensive set of photoetched and it really improves the plane, especially the cockpit.
Finished with Gunze colours. [...]

This is a model of an aircraft of VF-91 (N) flown off Bon Homme Richard during the end of 1945. The is an OOB, with the exception of the radar dome on the right wing, Otaki kit. I built this quite a number of years ago and it is showing [...]
Hasegawa Hellcat – the 1/48 F6F-3 by Tony Prince
Being a lover of carrier borne aircraft & the USN WWII in particular, I built this kit a few years ago (pre Eduard), but noted the adverse comments regarding the 'smile' on the cowling ring. Being very happy with other aspects of the [...]

If a good story can make a "boring dark blue airplane" interesting, as commenters said about Bruce Porter's airplane, here's a rip-roarer of a story.
This is the F6F-5 Hellcat flown by my friend former ENS Clarence [...]
