1963 Monogram 1/48 F6F-5 Hellcat

[JUG]

I bought this old 1963 Monogram kit some time back I really enjoy building these old kits. I think they are over looked they paved the way for what is out there now. The kit was partially build I had to saw the fuselage in half to re start the build. I also add a aftermarket cockpit and decals. I hope you enjoy the pics of this 60+ year old kit.

A nice looking build Lee - I do like the Hellcat.

These older kits can be challenging sometimes, but generally they're a lot of fun to build.

I remember these kits. I built the Grumman TBF Avenger kit back when I was a kid. Loved that kit.
