Hello, friends!


Today I'm sharing just a few photos of my just-completed Grumman F6F-3 from GPM. Before I built this, I didn't appreciate how large the Hellcat is -- the finished model doesn't fit on any of my shelves! Fortunately, my display space is not this model's final destination, as I have built it as a going-away gift for a friend. Building a GPM product was a new experience for me, and not a particularly pleasant one. GPM uses a bewildering parts numbering system, and many parts were duplicated for no obvious reason, and this was true even with the laser-cut frets. But despite this, it is finished, and I am satisfied with the result. Enjoy the pictures!
