About product

Quickboost 1:48 F6F-3 Hellcat, landing gear covers

This set is a resin accessory from the Quickboost (Aires) brand in 1:48 scale, not a stand-alone model of the airplane. It replaces the covers, that is the doors, of the main landing gear of a plastic Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat kit with thin resin castings with faithful inner detail. The parts are more delicate than the molding from the box and are meant for experienced modelers.

The real subject

The Grumman F6F Hellcat was an American single-seat carrier fighter of the navy in the Second World War with a potent air-cooled radial engine. A tough structure and reliability made it the backbone of the fighter defense of the aircraft carriers in the Pacific. The F6F-3 version was the first production rendition committed to the fighting.

Building and painting tips

These are resin castings for advanced builders. First wash the parts free of mold release residue, cut off the casting blocks carefully and clean up the cut surfaces, always with respiratory protection. They are bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Seat the thin covers with a light touch. Paint the inner faces and pick them out before you fit them to the landing gear legs.

Who it is for

  • Modelers who want thin and faithful landing gear covers instead of a thicker molding
  • Experienced builders used to working with resin and super glue
  • Collectors of American carrier fighters in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone who wants to raise the realism of the wheel wells of the F6F-3

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

FAQ

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

For experienced modelers. Working with resin calls for cutting off the casting blocks, cleaning up and gluing with super glue.

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