There is a lot of talks about Airfix should only do British subjects. Like what? All American aircraft are British subject anyways they used them all and we used all of your stuff. We even went as far as integrated pilots in each airforce. We were so close in destroying the Axist there was no difference between each other. B 17 flock coming back from bombing Germany would be rescued by Spitfires every day was there a difference? How many British men called for an air strike and it was USN Hellcats that came? How many Americans called for airstrikes in France and Spitfires and Typhoons came or worse the Mosquito? You forget the Hellcat was an Allied aircraft that fought for all of us. The only thing different about a Hellcat then other Allied aircraft it was the big killer the Ace maker. When you look at it compared to the others the thing we all think is how that fat girl is the number one killer. Bloody Hell can the pregnant girl get off the ground? The Hellcat is a British subject if you think of it right the baby is yours.

I have built the kit and made everything myself took six months, but it is looking perfect.

It's US Navy Sea Blue. It's not RAF paint. They needed some paint and the that's where they found some. It's Hellcat Paint. I read that in 1968 when I was a kid. You would have to pay for RAF paint so they went to the Navy.
