Academy 1/72 F6F-3/5 Hellcat: Scale Classic for Modellers

The Academy 1/72 F6F-3/5 Hellcat model kit recreates one of the most dependable US Navy fighters from World War II with careful attention to panel lines and airframe shape. This kit gives hobbyists a compact but accurate representation that fits well on display shelves and dioramas.

Why This Hellcat Appeals to Scale Builders

The full-size F6F was noted for its rugged construction and powerful Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine, traits that made it a dominant presence in the Pacific. Building this 1/72 kit helps modellers study the Hellcat's proportions and operational role while practising assembly and finishing techniques.

Assembly Quality and Finished Display

Parts are moulded for clear fit and detail, letting builders reproduce cockpit, fuselage and wing features with few compromises. Its size and accuracy make it an excellent choice for collectors who want a historically faithful model that presents well under glass or on a shelf.
