Hello,
Lot of work with this model but I enjoyed it…
This F6F-3 Hellcat of the VF-9 was apparently flown by E. A. Valencia early in 1944.
The modifications on this build:
- Ignition wires added
- Landing light under the left wing filled
- Access panel for HDI filled (right side of the fuselage behind the rear vision window)
- Gunsight (Camera) and its access panel filled on the right wing (present only on the left wing)
- Brake lines added
- Eduard resin wheels
- Eduard photo-etched cockpit
- Exhaust stacks drilled
- KMC control surfaces
- Tail wheel strut drilled
- Main landing gear modified, torque links drilled and shifted a little to the down
- Recognition lights repositionned: shifted a couple to the rear
- Eduard sliding canopy
- Gunsight modified to a Mk.VIII
Regards
Stéph
