guaguachong Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 this time i build one of the most famous and most successful AMerican fighters in WWII. the Gruman's Great F6F. this is a hasegawa F6F3 decaled as one of the most successful pilots, Lt. Alexander Vracius. noticed the mark of his plane, coming from the same group with Edward O'hare who was a legend. he shot down 6 japanese bombers in one mission ALONE!!! with his old F4F wildcat. he was the first Ace of US navy in WWII.
