Review Summary

The reviews highlight a generally positive reception for the 1/32 scale model, with praise for its detailed design, clear instructions including color guidance, and customizable options for different ships, squadrons, or bases. However, some users faced challenges, including poor instructions, missing parts, and issues with fit and engine detail, leading to frustration for a few. Despite these concerns, the kit is recommended for WW2 naval aircraft collections and appreciated by modelers, including older hobbyists who value the larger scale.

F6F-5 HELLCAT 1/32 SCALE

By: thomaskrilovich

VERY DETAILED, THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE VERY EASY TO WORK FROM. I LIKE THE WAY THEY TELL YOU WHAT COLOR EACH PART SHOULD BE. I LIKE THE CHOICE OF WHICH SHIP, SQUADRON, OR BASE THE PLANE CAN BE FROM.

F6F-5

By: dgasteiger

I have recently started building the 1/32 scale models. Have completed 5 at this time. These are a lot more enjoyable to build at my age (73) than the smaller scale, although I have both.When I was a kid and building models Revell and Lindburg was about all that was out there that I knew of. Trumpeter and Tamiya have brought me to a whole new level to my hobby also affordable. Just wish someone out there would look to make a kit for the old Willy-Fudd (S2F) from VAW-12. The E-2s were still new in the mid 60's, the S2F was a unique looking aircraft. There are kits out there for the S-2 minus the radome.

Never again

By: nbf1863 (Northeastern Ca)

Instructions to me are awful. Missing three parts, Fortunately, I had a spare kit after a previous misunderstanding and glue failure. The engine, after construction was off 20 degrees. Engine detail to me was terrible and the fit was horrible. This is the last trumpeter for me. Never again. Who writes their instructions? Dopey
