Michael Wolfe (wingman) has built the weekend edition of the 1:48 scale Eduard F6F-3 Hellcat. The result is quite nice as you can see in this review build feature.

Thank you Eduard for providing the review sample!

Good looking Hellcat Michael. I have a couple of these I plan to build "soon". LOL

Looks good Michael. And I agree with you about the tiny white decals. I'm finishing up Eduards F6F-5 and they're driving me nuts. I can't even find the serial number (think that's what it is anyway) that goes under NAVY on top of the tail.

Great looking Hellcat Mike.

Thanks for the article, I've been wondering if this kit was worth buying. Now I know.

Hi John, thanks. I have so many models in the stash there is no way that I will be able to build them all let alone find somewhere to display them when they're built. Thanks for the kind words, Wingman out.

Hi Cary. I emailed Eduard and told them about it just to give them a heads up. All in all it was an enjoyable build. Thanks for the kind words, Wingman out.

Hi Erik. Thank you. This was the first time I've built an Eduard kit. I would have no problem building another one when the time comes, I have to finish the Hasegawa Typhoon that I started. I really liked the realism of the wheels on the Eduard kit. Thanks for looking, Wingman out.
