DEVILISH FELINE

 

VALIANT WINGS has delighted modellers with the news that its next Airframe and Miniature publication – the 15th in the series – will be dedicated to Grumman’s F6F Hellcat.

This World War Two fighter has long been popular with aviation enthusiasts and model builders, being the subject of Airfix’s most recent 1/24 scale ‘Superkit’. As such, this guide will form a hghly useful resource for fans of this radial-engined aircraft, with sections including its history, sub-types and the liveries worn during service. Furthermore, the images comprise walk-round photos, technical diagrams and 1/48 scale plans, all of which are ideal for reference, plus chapters focus specifically on model builds and kit information.

It will cost £22.95 and will be available from late June at: www.valiant-wings.co.uk
