This wonderful replica of the French Navy F6F-5 Hellcat almost makes it possible to hear the thunderous roar as the huge rotary engine cranks over and begins to fire, belching smoke in all directions. An extremely well detailed and meticulously crafted work of art, the professionals at Hobby Master have gone to great lengths to provide you with a quality piece of aviation history. Great paint, terrific markings, optional canopies, weapons and more can all be found with this very heavy offering.
