Tolga ULGUR Posted June 9 Author Posted June 9 I am planning to finish this Hellcat with the markings of VF 1 White K21 from USS Yorktown It seems that this one is a Hellcat between late F6F3 and F6F 5. As you can see at the following pictures this Hellcat has no bulge on the cowling. So no early style cowl flap also.But the windscreen is early style and rear cocpit side windows exist.

wingman777 Posted June 9 Posted June 9 I’ve built three of these kits using resin and PE enhancements. This oldie kit has a few warts but can become a great display with the right touch ups. BiggTim, KUROK, Martinnfb and 2 others 5
