hey everyone, i have the trumpy 1/32 F6F-3 hellcat but I'm considering using the techmod RAF markings/decals for a hellcat Mk.1 on it.
The question is: do i need to make any changes to the existing trumpeter kit to depict a hellcat Mk.1?

thanks in advance

I can't think of any differences off the top of my head except that the seat harnesses would be different.

Hi Vance

I am not sure about the harness .. there was a recent post here ... maybe 2 days ago?! have a look there.

The eduard kit has US harness .. which means nothing, but can be an indication.

If you have better info please advise! (with sources if possible) (i have the eduard Brit dual combo in the stack)

cheers

Steffen
