Academy 1/48 SBD 3 Dauntless
This model is one of the Enterprise Dauntless at the Battle of Midway. Only my second Navy plane but since I purchased the Vallejo Air paint set for WWII naval I will be doing more. I have a Hellcat ready to go soon.
This was my first [...]

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.

Eduard 1:48 Grumman F6F-5 (Late) ProflPACK Kit #8224

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 [...]
