Hellcat almost makes it possible to hear the thunderous roar as the
huge rotary engine cranks over and begins to fire, belching smoke in all
directions. An extremely well detailed and meticulously crafted work
of art, the professionals at Hobby Master have gone to great lengths to provide
you with a quality piece of aviation history. Great paint, terrific markings,
optional canopies, weapons and more can all be found with this very
heavy offering.

combat squadron – carrier and land-based – armed aircraft. 1F and sister squadrons
