Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Hello Everyone ... Been busy over in the group builds lately but i havent forgotten that i build things with wings. I’ve been finishing up some models in my down time from the group build stuff. This is Hasegawa’s F6F Hellcat which i started last fall but just got around to finishing yesterday. I chose to do it in the markings of a Hellcat from VF-33 on Espirtu Santo in late 1943. I found the marking scheme while looking at an Eduard Hellcat, and yes i have a photo as well. Though I didn't have exact markings i was able to find spares in the same style. So without further talk I present to you my Hellcat. Heres a photo of the cockpit during the build. And for those that are curious, heres the photo from WW2.🔺 I truly hope everyone like this, and as usual please feel free to leave comments, questions, or jokes. Have a great modeling day. Dennis 🔺* not sure if this is public record so i will state the ownership rights belong to others. I only use them for informational purposes. If i have to i will remove them. 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thud4444 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I've never seen a white tailed Hellcat before. That's a cool scheme. Nice work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 Thats why i opted for this one. I hadnt seen the white upper fuselage myself. I figure it was for camouflage because of the coral hardstand and runways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks cousin yes i like different schemes. It helps the planes or whatever i build stand out in a crowd. Its a leftover from when i was competing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
