hsr Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 This is my build of the Eduard 1/72 Grumman F6F-5N. I have seen several reviews of this kit that praise it highly and say that it is the best F6F kit in this scale. I can't argue with any of them. The fit was very good to excellent and I was especially impressed with the wing to fuselage joint that required no filler. The kit also included an excellent complete Eduard color interior. The only complaint I have is that I was once again faced with decals that refused to move once placed and in this case any attempt to move them would cause them to tear. Luckily I had some Blackbird decals for the F6F which worked great. So here it is: Continuing with my blue aircraft and night fighters next up is the Italeri F4U-5N Enoy 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanC Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 They must have been the best navy pilots of all. Night flying off a carrier, AND doubling up as the RIO! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsr Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Them and the Marines flying F4U-2's from unimproved fields at night. Plus the displays were much more primitive and clutered with false images then we have now. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
