1/48 Eduard F6F-5 Hellcat

This is my F6F-5 Hellcat from Czech manufacturer Eduard.

Eduard have realized a very nice job with this model and cherry on the cake, it's really easy to build.

My Hellcat is wearing French markings from the first flottile of aeronavale during Indochina war aboard aircraft carrier Arromanches.

The kit was build, almost, straight from the box.

But as I realised a post WWII Hellcat, I've changed the belly tank furnished by Eduard that was originally destined for a F4U Corsair and of course, built the fastening system with the help of our best friend, Evergreen.

Hoping you will like her!

Thanks for your attention.
