Hello!
I`d like present you my new design. The famous tamer of Mitsubishi A6M "Zeke" Grumman F6F "Hellcat". Model presents F-3 version in paint scheme from Battle of the Philippine Sea (Great Marianas Turkey Shoot) from 1944 from VF-1 based on USS "Yorktown".
Here is historical picture of this aircraft:

Hello!
Thank you Friends.

Dragos: I remember.

My Rafale is C version, not M and will be a problem with based on Charles de Gaulle.

Slowly, slowly, veeeery, veeery slowly like a snail but still forward... Several segments are ready.

Best regards.

Krzychu, it's good to see you back in the designing business ;-) While Hellcat is not my favorite, it would be nice to build one in 1:50.

Another nice choice,a big brute and powerful.When I was at Fantasy of Flight I asked the chief of restorations what he would most like to do,he pointed at the Hellcat that was waiting for restoration and said "that one"
