Howdy,

I see Hobby Boss plans to release a couple of Hellcats.

Shall we start bashing the shape of the cowling now?

Hi Brian

I think if they release a "F4F-5 Hellcat" there are other things to worry about.

If you are really interested I suggest asking the guys at LSP how the 32 scale Trumpeter Hellcat is .. most probably Hobby Boss is using the same data (though both companies always deny any contact ....) ....



I am perfectly happy with my Eduard kits and I also was with the Hasegawa plus Obscureco cowl plus Aires megaset that is collecting dust (half build) in my stash

cheers

Howdy,

Wow, "F4F-5", was my typing that bad? Sorry 'bout that.
