F6F-3 Hellcat – An Icon of American WWII Aviation

The Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat is a legendary American carrier-based fighter, mainly used by the United States Navy between 1943–1945. It played a crucial role in battles in the Pacific, participating in events such as the Battle of the Philippine Sea and around the Mariana Islands. Its durable construction and excellent performance ensured Allied air superiority.

Set contents and materials

BIG4941 is a comprehensive collection that includes three sets dedicated to the HOBBY BOSS model:

• Photo-etched plates featuring highly detailed cockpit, seat belts, and interior equipment.
• A dedicated set for the reproduction of landing flaps and control surfaces – with elements made of precisely cut brass sheet, enabling realistic presentation of this characteristic feature of the F6F-3.
• Eduard-class painting masks made from high-quality foil—these allow for precise protection of the canopy and wheels during model painting, resulting in crisp, refined paint separation lines.
