Without doubt, the best US Navy
carrier-based fighter of world war two was the Grumman F6F Hellcat.
So good in fact that over twelve thousand were made and at one
point in 1944 Grumman was turning out one Hellcat an hour, 644
in one month; a production record that has never been equalled.
From this outstanding heritage Hangar 9’s
F6F Hellcat is bound to be another classic!
Modelled from the popular full-scale Grumman Hellcat the
Hangar 9 Hellcat F6F 60 ARF is another splendid addition
to Hangar 9’s great warbird line-up. The model includes
a pre-painted cowling and canopy, dummy radial engine,
photo illustrated assembly guide, hardware pack, and pre-installed
heavy-duty metal 90 degree rotating retracts; just like
the full-size.
The laser cut balsa and plywood construction ensure lightweight
and ruggedness; essential qualities in a warbird, and authentic
US Navy two- tone blue and white colour scheme and markings
using Hangar 9 UltraCote®. Hangar 9 successfully continue
to increase the quality and performance of it’s 60
size warbird range, and the F6F brings to the model flyer
a great looking easy to fly warbird that has a very accurate
scale outline and detail, while at the same time providing
stable flight characteristics. This superb U.S Navy Hellcat
continues the Hangar9 tradition of great value, top quality,
and super scale realism coupled with superb sport model
performance! |
