Trumpeter 02259 F6F-5N Hellcat 1:32 Scale Model Kit  [TP02259]

Trumpeter 1:32 F6F-5N Hellcat Night Fighter Replica Kit

The Trumpeter 1:32 F6F-5N Hellcat kit presents the night fighter configuration with close attention to its wartime fittings. The variant's AN/APS-6 radar and heavier weapons load of two 20mm cannons plus four .50 caliber machine guns equipped it for after-dark interceptions.

Grumman built 1,432 examples of the F6F-5N which served with the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps from both carriers and land airstrips. Aside from the radar and armament, the F6F-5N shared much of its structure with the F6F-5.
