About product

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

A resin detail part, not an airplane kit. This resin external (drop) tank replaces the plastic tank from the base kit of the American F6F Hellcat carrier fighter in the -3 and -5 versions in 1:72 scale. The casting is a single piece with no parting seam, so there is no gluing of two halves and no filling of the joint.

The real subject and what the part is for

The Grumman F6F Hellcat was an American carrier fighter of the Second World War with a Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine. For longer escort and combat flights it carried a jettisonable external tank under the fuselage, which extended its range. A tank from a single casting has a clean shape with no longitudinal seam and captures the aerodynamic shell more faithfully.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts free of mold release residue in lukewarm soapy water
  • Cut off the casting block and clean up the surface with respiratory protection
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue; cement for plastic will not hold on resin
  • Align any sway brace or attachment with the under-fuselage mounting of the base kit

Who the part is for

  • For builders of the F6F Hellcat fighter in 1:72 scale
  • For modelers who want a tank with no parting seam
  • For more advanced modelers with resin experience

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

FAQ

No. It is a resin replacement external tank that completes and refines a Hellcat kit you already own in 1:72 scale.

It is cast in a single piece, so it has no longitudinal seam and there is no gluing or filling of two halves.

Use cyanoacrylate glue. Cement for plastic will not hold on resin.
