1:48 Hellcats are here...

I was checking the 1:48 Hellcats that just came out and are all ready in stock at Cats...
They look like pretty good schemes.
1.US Navy F6F Hellcat - VF-9 "White 17" USS Essex (Marshall Islands - 1944)
2.US Navy F6F Hellcat - VF-27 "White 2" USS Princeton (Marianas - 1944)

Re: 1:48 Hellcats are here...

Just picked up the Hellcat at the Michigan Toy Soldier Company and it is very nice. Probably their best 1/48 plane to date. I bought the same one shown in the photos. White 17 is exactly the same just slightly different paint scheme.

STARMAN - FM/A's Hellcat is very nice. It is one of their better models in my opinion.
