Hasegawa 1/72 B11 F6F-3/5 Hellcat kit guide

The Hasegawa 1/72 B11 F6F-3/5 Hellcat is a tidy scale kit that reproduces the hallmark features of the F6F fighter. It is suitable for display modelling and pays attention to the aircraft's silhouette and surface details.

Significance and appeal to modellers

The Grumman F6F Hellcat played a significant role in Allied carrier operations. Modellers value this type for its clear lines and the visual impact of its markings, both of which this Hasegawa kit renders well in 1/72 scale.

Tips for a neat finish

Fit-check parts before bonding to ensure panel alignment, and consider light sanding of join lines for a seamless look. Decals are provided; apply them over a gloss base to minimise silvering and achieve crisp results.
