About product

F6F-3/5 Hellcat — landing gear bays 1:48 (Aires)

A resin detail set for experienced modelers, not an airplane kit. The set replaces the landing gear bays of the Grumman F6F Hellcat, the American carrier-based fighter, in the F6F-3 and F6F-5 versions in 1:48 scale. Faithfully cast bays with rich structure take the place of the shallow and bare spaces that a plastic kit offers.

What the set offers

The castings capture the walls and ceilings of the bays with stiffeners, hydraulics and riveting. The Hellcat was a rugged fighter with a wide landing gear track, so open, finely worked bays are clearly visible when the model is seen from below and markedly raise its realism. The set is shaped for the corresponding Hellcat kit in this scale.

Tips for working with resin

  • Wash the parts free of mold release residue in lukewarm water with dish soap
  • Cut the casting blocks off with a saw, do not snap them
  • Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate); plastic cement does not hold on resin
  • Paint the bays and pick them out with a wash before fitting them into the model

Who the set is for

  • For more experienced modelers building the F6F Hellcat in 1:48 scale
  • For lovers of American carrier-based aircraft of the Second World War
  • For builders who want richly worked landing gear bays

This is a resin detail set, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a resin detail set of the landing gear bays. The base F6F Hellcat model has to be obtained separately.

It is shaped for the Grumman F6F Hellcat in the F6F-3 and F6F-5 versions in 1:48 scale.

Best of all before fitting them into the model. Paint and a wash reach into the depth of the bays with more difficulty once the model is assembled.
