AIRFIX Grumman Hellcat 1:24 A19004 F6-F5 Aircraft Model Kit

very few aircraft in the history of aerial warfare can boast the impact and combat credentials of the Grumman F6F Hellcat. It is one of the finest fighting machines ever to take to the skies and is a product of the already successful Grumman ‘Ironworks’. This company’s design philosophy was only to produce aircraft which were easy to manufacture, maintain and must be reliable in a combat situation. Importantly it must also be an effective combat aircraft and able to be mastered by the average wartime pilot following a standard conversion period. This no nonsense approach ensured that the Hellcat was ready to fight and available in some numbers when they eventually reached US Navy units in 1943.
