About product

Quickboost 1:48 F6F-3 Hellcat – Engine

This set is a resin accessory from Quickboost (Aires) in 1:48 scale, not a standalone airplane model. It replaces the engine of the Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat plastic kit with an accurate resin casting of the air-cooled radial engine, with the cylinders and the front of the powerplant rendered in detail. The set is meant for experienced modelers who want to take the engine section beyond the level of the part from the box.

The real subject

The Grumman F6F Hellcat was an American single-seat carrier fighter of the Second World War, powered by a capable air-cooled radial engine. Rugged and reliable, it became the backbone of the fighter defense of the carriers in the Pacific. The F6F-3 version was the first production variant to see combat.

Building and painting tips

This is a resin casting for advanced builders. First wash the parts to remove mold release residue, carefully cut off the casting blocks (gates) and clean up the cut surfaces – always with respiratory protection. It is bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate); test the surfaces dry before you fix it in place. It pays to paint the engine and pick out the ignition harness before you close the cowling over it.

Who it is for

  • Modelers who want an accurate radial engine instead of a simplified molding
  • Experienced builders used to working with resin and super glue
  • Collectors of American carrier fighters in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone who wants to show the engine section of an F6F-3 with the cowling open

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted, as a resin set. The aircraft kit, glue, paints and other accessories are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is a resin aftermarket accessory that replaces the engine of your F6F-3 Hellcat kit in 1:48 scale. The aircraft model itself is not included in the package.

For experienced modelers. Working with resin means cutting off the casting blocks, cleaning them up and bonding with super glue.

Super glue (cyanoacrylate). Ordinary plastic cement does not hold on resin.
