"excellent"

Very beatiful model kit. Highest quality for the price paid. Very good details either the model kit or the decals. The model includes accessory parts like: auxiliary fuel tank, rockets and bombs, fun to paint and assemble. The plane, at the end, is very rich ... The delivered from us to Italy in the times promised on the web site.

"Great Looking Beast"
mcgoldrickkelly
I did not purchase this off of hobbylinc, but i DID purchase this Revell Monogram version of the Hellcat. Overall, its a great model. It's different than most Revell fighters because the landing gear is meant to be retractable as are the wings. I followed the directions to a TEE and suceeded in make the landing gear retractable, as well as the tail hook that was used to catch the plane as it landed on the carrier deck. But, for the life of me, I couldn't make the wings fold up (even though I did Everything the directions told me to do). But, to me, that is no big deal as the final product looks Gorgeous in my collection. I chose the blue version, and painted the front of the cowl white. The decals provide further white markings that bring out the beauty of this plane (with a choice of two different planes to make). Finally, I was blown away at how much of a beast this baby is. Equipped with six rockets, two small bombs/torpedos, one massive bomb/torpedo, and 4 guns/cannons on the front of each wing. The F6F5 is only slighty smaller than my JU87 Stuka dive bomber! I'm very pleased overall.

 
"A Pretty Good Kit"
servismathew
Overall, this kit is a good buy and is pretty well-designed for its low price. The directions are clear and most pieces assemble fairly easily. While the foldable wings and retracting landing gear do work, the parts don't move as smoothly as I'd like. Both the cockpit and wheels lack detail and were difficult to paint accurately.

 
"F6F-5 Hellcat"

Another nice offering from Revell for a very low price.My only complaint about this kit is the lack of cockpit detail.I have ordered a aftermarket cockpit set for another hellcai kit and plan to modify it to fit the Revell hellcat.Overall all other detail is good.The decals are excellent.The instructions are clear and easy to follow.I am looking forward to this build and I think it will produce a very striking model.I would recommend this kit.
