172n d scale F6F-5 Eduard Hellcat


Recommended Posts

I've picked up the new 1/72nd scale Eduard F6F-5 kit and, after reading the instructions, have a question for anyone who's already built one. The plastic inserts, Parts E1 thru E4, are they partiality difficult to install on the fuselage half? I'll have to attach with the aid of a magnifying glass (one of those things when you reach the age of 56.........) but I'm just curious how other guys have done with their experience. Other than this little issue I think it's a great kit. And I think they parts for the 'night' version are also included..... minus decals for the version but I'm sure I have some from other kits to fill that bill. This is a very nice kit. Thanks for your help!

No, they're quite easy to install. The kit falls together, aside from the fiddly PE it's as good or better than Tamiya at its best for assembly.

And yes, you get all the night fighter bits in the box. Actually you get everything for a -3 or -5 in pretty much all variants except for the correct wings (-3 boxings have -3 wings, -5 boxings have -5 wings).
