Grumman F6F Hellcat, Fujimi
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 [...]
Eduard 1:48 Grumman F6F-5 (Late) ProflPACK Kit #8224
Its an Eduard kit so nuff said. I used the PE but this is probably my last time as when you close the canopy not much is seen. These were attached with Lepage 12, 5 Minute Epoxy. The resin wheels are a big improvement over the plastic [...]
Hellcat II
Built this at the same time as the Hurricane I posted here a few weeks ago but only got around to finishing it this morning. Fairly straightforward build, could have done without the separate fin-tip antenna post which was instantly [...]
Nocturnal Predator...1/48 Grumman F6F-5N Hellcat, VMF(N)-533 "Black Mac's Killers", USMC
Hellcat double completed, after the F6F-3 now a -5N.
Eduard Weekend Edition released in 2016. Sadly the fuselage code F(N)4 is oversized, also the fuselage number 21 and the cowl number 88 of the second included scheme are. Funny thing is [...]

Jim Sullivan GB: 1/48 Otaki F6F-3 Hellcat
Jim Sullivan’s “F6F Hellcat in Action” Squadron book features a Don Greer profile of Hellcat F6F-3 “white 13” of VF-16 that flew from the USS Lexington CV-16 in December of 1943. I chose to model this particular aircraft for the [...]
Speak my name and I shall live forever: Jim Sullivan Memorial
Designed as a successor to the F4F Wildcat, the Hellcat’s origins can be traced back in 1938, with the contract for the prototype XF6F-1 signed on 30 June 1941. Instead of the Wildcat's narrow-track, hand-cranked, main landing gear [...]
Trumpeter F6F-5N Hellcat Night Fighter 1/32
Hellcat, everybody loves it, everybody has one so... I got me one. I saw many examples of this extraordinary fighter plane and many with the fuselage open to see the interior and I was encouraged to do it this way.
I decided to work on the [...]
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 [...]
