About product

Hellcat Mk.II Fleet Air Arm 1:48 (Hobby Boss)

An injection-molded plastic kit of the Grumman Hellcat carrier fighter in the British Fleet Air Arm Mk.II form, in 1:48 scale from Hobby Boss. The model has engraved panel lines, a well worked out cockpit, a radial engine and the option of building the wings spread or folded for stowage aboard a carrier. Drop tanks and armament are usually included as well.

The real subject

Hellcat Mk.II was the British name for the American Grumman carrier fighter supplied to the Royal Navy under the Lend-Lease program in the Second World War. It was a robust single-seat machine with a Pratt & Whitney radial engine, heavy armament and good resilience. The Fleet Air Arm deployed it from the Atlantic to the Far East.

Building and painting tips

Use liquid modeling cement for the joints of the plastic parts. Lay down a primer before painting; the British naval camouflage stands out when sprayed with an airbrush. Decide in advance whether you want the wings spread or folded. Fix the decals with a decal softener, and a final matte varnish will even the surface out.

Who the model is for

  • Collectors of Second World War carrier fighters
  • Anyone interested in British Fleet Air Arm aircraft
  • Modelers with experience of building in 1:48 scale
  • Lovers of the Grumman brand and of radial engines

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
