About product

Photo-etched parts F6F gun bay 1:48 (Eduard)

A photo-etched set from the Czech maker Eduard focused on the open gun bays in the wings of the American Grumman F6F Hellcat carrier fighter in 1:48 scale. The thin metal parts make it possible to show the machine gun bay convincingly, with its internal stiffening, gun mountings and covers, which plastic either lacks or renders coarsely. It is not an aircraft model but an accessory for advanced detailing; the base kit has to be obtained separately.

The real subject

The Grumman F6F Hellcat is an American carrier fighter of the Second World War, a key machine of the navy in the fighting over the Pacific. Its armament consisted of a battery of 12.7 mm machine guns housed in the wings, reached through hinged panels. An open machine gun bay is a rewarding detail for a modeler.

Usage tips

Separate the small parts with a sharp knife on a hard surface and bend them in a metal bending tool. They are bonded with super glue or with epoxy. Degrease the metal parts before painting and lay a primer over them.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want to open up the gun bays of a Hellcat model
  • Builders of the F6F in 1:48 scale
  • Anyone interested in fine metal detail in the machine gun bays
  • Advanced modelers with experience of photo-etch

This is a set of photo-etched parts, not a model. The kit itself, glue and paints are not included in the package.
