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 [...]

Airfix 1/24 F6F-5 Hellcat
I have been on a long modeling hiatus but broke ground on the magnificent 1/24 F6F-5 Hellcat about two and half months ago. It is a really amazing kit, but true to form, I have added a lot of details to the kit. The WIP build to date can [...]
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 [...]
