About product

Quickboost F6F-3/5 Hellcat external fuel tank (1:72)

A resin detail set from Quickboost with an underslung external fuel tank for a model of the American Grumman F6F Hellcat carrier-based fighter in the F6F-3 and F6F-5 versions in 1:72 scale. The one-piece casting has a faithful shape and a smooth surface with none of the seam that a glued plastic part would have. It is an accessory for a kit, not an airplane model in itself.

The real subject

The Grumman F6F Hellcat was an American carrier-based fighter of the Second World War with a radial engine. The external fuel tank was carried under the fuselage and extended the range on long flights over the Pacific. The F6F-3 and F6F-5 versions were the main production variants.

Building tips

Wash the tank to remove the release agent, cut off the casting block and bond it with super glue to the mounting under the fuselage. The smooth surface takes a gloss base and subsequent weathering well.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want a faithful external fuel tank without a seam.
  • Builders of the F6F Hellcat in 1:72 scale.
  • Anyone after a realistic rendering of the underwing store.

The kit itself and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

It is an underslung fuel tank carried below the fuselage, which extended the range of the real aircraft. It completes an F6F Hellcat model in 1:72 scale.

No. It is a stand-alone detail set for a model bought separately.

A one-piece casting has none of the seam that a glued plastic part has, so there is no filling and sanding of the joint.
