1/32 F6F-3N Hellcat
Trumpeter 1/32 F6F-3N Hellcat is a plastic kit of the night fighter version of the US Navy Grumman Hellcat carrier-based fighter. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
The Grumman F6F Hellcat was one of the principal carrier-based fighters of the US Navy in the second half of the Second World War. The F6F-3N night fighter carried an AN/APS-6 radar in a pod on the starboard wing and served with Navy night fighter squadrons.
The Trumpeter kit in 1/32 scale depicts this radar-equipped version. The large scale gives the burly Hellcat real presence in a display cabinet, and the wing-mounted radar pod sets it apart from the day fighters at first glance.
The smooth surfaces of a big model are a rewarding canvas for airbrush work and restrained carrier-deck weathering. Paints and glues required for assembly are not included.
