Designed to effectively counter the Japanese Zero, it was equipped with the powerful 2,000-horsepower Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney R-2800 engine, which provided high speed and excellent flight performance. Armed with six 12.7 mm Browning machine guns mounted in the wings, in the hands of trained pilots it proved extremely effective both in air superiority missions to defend the fleet and in close support and ground attack missions. The impressive kill-to-loss ratio demonstrated the operational efficiency of the “Hellcat” design.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScale is 1:72\u003cbr\u003eSize of the model is 15cm\u003cbr\u003eBox size is 25.8cm x 16.2cm x 3.8cm\u003cbr\u003eTwo version decal sheet is included\u003cbr\u003eDecals for interesting American and British versions\u003cbr\u003eAn iconic fighter aircraft from World War II\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Italeri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57884288909693,"sku":"ITA91213","price":15.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6604\/3780\/files\/3ff0y311pim.jpg?v=1772457696","url":"https:\/\/fieldsofglorymodels.co.uk\/products\/italeri-172-aircraft-ww2-usn-grumman-hellcat-f6-f-3","provider":"Fields of Glory Models","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
