About product

Landing gear doors F6F-3/5 Hellcat 1:72 (Quickboost)

A resin detailing part, not an aircraft kit. The resin landing gear doors replace the plastic parts from the base kit of the American carrier-based F6F Hellcat fighter in the -3 and -5 versions in 1:72 scale. The thin castings with molded inner structure look more faithful than the thicker plastic doors and fit the edge of the wheel well better.

The real subject and what the part is for

The Grumman F6F Hellcat was an American carrier-based fighter of the Second World War with a Pratt & Whitney R-2800 radial engine and retractable landing gear whose wheels folded into the wing. The doors of the wheel wells are clearly visible on a model with the landing gear extended, so their realistic thickness and internal lightening raise the overall fidelity noticeably.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts free of mold release agent residue in lukewarm water with dish soap
  • Cut the casting blocks off and clean the faces up with respiratory protection
  • Glue them with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), as cement for plastic does not hold on resin
  • Pick the inner side of the doors out with a wash for the impression of depth in the well

Who the part is for

  • For builders of the F6F Hellcat fighter in 1:72 scale
  • For modelers who want thinner and more faithful landing gear doors
  • For more advanced modelers with experience of resin

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

FAQ

No. These are resin replacement landing gear doors that complete and refine a Hellcat kit in 1:72 scale you already have.

They have a realistic thickness and molded inner structure, so they capture the edge of the wheel well more faithfully.

Use cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Cement for plastic does not hold on resin.
