Trumpeter Scale Models 2256 1/32 Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat Fighter

Model Kit

In October 1942, just five months after the flight of the XF6F-3, the first production F6F-3 took to the air. The F6F-3 differed from the prototype externally by streamlining the bulky landing gear fairing assembly, replacing the Curtis electric propeller and large spinner with a Hamilton Standard full feathering prop and minor changes to the engine cowling and exhaust ports. Several minor bugs were quickly eliminated in the design and by January 16, 1943 Grumman was delivering Hellcats to the Navy.
