Personally I'm thinking that anyone taking on the 24th scale Hellcat can make maximum use of the 25% rule and get the cockpit, engine etc. sub-assemblies completed and in place before the GB begins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOCKNEY Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Can I pick peoples brains please, I have found 3 x 1/72 Hellcats in the stash all with the canopies missing, now I'm not paranoid but 3 out 3 is ridiculous even by my standards ! I can't seem to find a source of replacements except the falcon set that only has 2 and seems a bit over the top with all the other ones in the set which I don't need. Am I missing a trick here ? Has anyone ever moulded their own ? I really don't want to buy another kit, as the stash is of a size that reincarnation will be required to finish them as it is !

Cheers Pat I've just looked on Scalemates, none of my completed Hellcats would have had spare canopy parts for open. My Hasegawa Hellcat was given to me without kit canopy parts - BUT with replacement vac canopies by Squadron. The pack contains two - so if no other solutions appear, we could use one each. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Pat I had forgotten this build was happening. I had bought the Eduard Dual Combo kit ( 2x Hellcat Mk1 or Mk2) to do with my son while he was staying with me. We've both finished our Hellcats ( photo later maybe ) and the long and the short of it is..... The kit came with 4 canopies, 2 mk1, 2 mk2. I have 1 spare mk1 and 1 spare mk2. Do you want them? They are free to a good home. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortCummins Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hello Chaps I've just started a build log... however, I've not actually started the build, its an Eduard dual combo kit and both kits are still in their unopened plastic bags, would I be able to join the build when it starts? I'll happily put the box back in the cupboard and get another kit from the stash while we wait for the GB to start rgds John(shortCummins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 In the previous Hellcat STGB I built an aircraft from every country which operated the Hellcat with the sad exception of France. The time has come to rectify that omission. I'm also considering some minor Hellcat versions: F6F-3E, F6F-5N, F6F-5P, There's also a distinct possibility of another F6F-5K drone. And I really want to do one with folded wings. Of course, there is always the 1/24 Airfix beauty calling to me from The Stash. But within the confines of an STGB, that would be insane! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was planning on a R.N. And drone myself. Id love to do an Uruguayan Navy plane but don't have the decals yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
