HS-4Grandson Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hey guys well here is one of builds for the PACAIR II, along with another Hellcat, Corsairs, and Dauntless. Im build an F6F-3E with the Eduard Hellcat with Ultracast AN/APS-4 radar, seat, and wheels also from Ultracast. Now the decals Im still working on how Im going to do that. But Ive read that Butch did fly one of these aircraft in WWII with TBM-3E. Here are some preview shots of what Im going to build. Thanks Stanton Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HS-4Grandson Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Well I was able to get off work at a reasonable hour today, so I was able to get started on the Hellcat. I had to take some .30 plastic rod attach it to a drimmel tool and did alittle laying with a No.11 Xacto blade, to make the radar scope on the F6F-3E. On the first pic I posted of the IP was for the 3N but the bottom pic of the aircraft is the correct one with AN/APS-4 radar. Well here are some pics of what has been done so far. Here is pic of the cockpit with an Ultracast seat and Hase sidewalls since I cant really afford the AM from Aires. Here is pic of the radar operating controls, which I will install on the left sidewall of the Hellcat. Sorry fire away with the comments. Thanks Stanton Quote Link to post Share on other sites

slick Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 VEry cool Anyone know where I can get some pictures of a F6F-3E. I'm just starting work on a Eduard Hellcat. I just recently returned to the plastic addiction after being away for 20 years flying Rc Planes. Things really changed while I was away. Thanks Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HOLMES Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 Stanton, I think the IP panels look good and the seat is very good..Like the seat belts... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
