Randy Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Looks like the Hellcat will hit the stores on June 23rd. I already have my Airscale cockpit. KUROK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbolt Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I was dismissive of 1/24th scale until I saw this kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggz Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 This is an interesting read. https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/news/workbench/hellcat-exclusives-for-centenary-edition My (first) Hellcat is on pre-order with Hannants for the 10% discount.

As regards the section about the Hellcat in general, I was only reading yesterday about David McCampell and "Minsi III" and the air combat at Leyte Gulf. Nine confirmed and two probables for just him in one mission was a good example of the superiority of the Hellcats and the US pilots.

LSP_K2 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 The -5 is not really my bag, but the model looks to be outstanding in every way, on par with the great Typhoon kits. I'll look forward to seeing a few of these built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
