Re: Pictures of My Hellcat

Neat pictures of your F6F. Have one Dragon F6F, but have yet to pick up one of the Hobby Master versions.

Re: Pictures of My Hellcat

I canīt claim to be a Hellcat pro, but for me the fuselage lines are bit overdone

I'm no expert either, derhamburgerjung, but I believe there was discussion on this topic some time ago (maybe on MH I?) and it was decided that they do indeed look at least close to that, if I remember correctly.

Re: Pictures of My Hellcat

Are you considering to buy the night version? As the reg no. is 13, it's a bit unlucky to me. Do you guys mind that?

I don't mind at all. You're allowed to think it's unlucky.

Re: Pictures of My Hellcat

The only HM F6F that I have so far is the night fighter and I'm fond of it.

In fact, I'm sorely tempted to pick up a couple more by Hobby Master - it's a good mould.

Re: Pictures of My Hellcat

There is a story about why the # 13 is unlucky to me. Last time I flew to Hong Kong. I went aboard trough Customs Gate 13 ( as I found there was nobody checking in there while other gates were crowded), then after landing in HK, while I was in the row to clear the HK customs, I was surprised to find that the officer of Gate 13 forgot to stamp the exit visa on my passport. OMG
