Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat stencils 1:48 is an Eduard decal sheet with the small technical stencil markings for the later production version of the carrier fighter. It is an accessory to a model, not a kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
The set contains printed decals with technical stencilling, that is with the small service, warning and operating markings that appear all over the skin of the real aircraft. It is made by the Czech firm Eduard in 1:48 scale. It differs from sheets with color schemes in that it does not deal with the appearance of a particular machine but with the density of the small markings. The model, paints and glue are not in the package.
The F6F-5 was the later and most numerously produced version of the Hellcat carrier fighter. Compared with the first production variant it received a reworked nose with a smoother cowling, a simplified canopy without the glazed windows behind the pilot and wider possibilities for carrying stores for work against ground targets. The basis of the design stayed the same: a rugged all-metal monoplane with a radial engine, a wide-track landing gear and folding wings for carrier operation. It is precisely the differences in detail between the versions that are the reason why the stencil sheets are made separately for the F6F-3 and for the F6F-5.
It pays to work systematically: divide the model into sections, lay the markings down panel by panel and keep checking the position against the reference documentation. The base is a smooth gloss varnish, otherwise the small motifs will silver. Dip them briefly in lukewarm water, move them with tweezers and blot the excess water with a paper towel. Watch the amount of softener, as small motifs roll up easily. On later machines the surface tends to be considerably worn, so once the markings are dry, consider light weathering, so that they do not look freshly printed.
This is an accessory to a model, not a kit. The model, paints and glue are not included in the package.
