Trumpeter 02258 F6F-3N Hellcat Warbird Model Kit 1:32  [TP02258]

1:32 Trumpeter 02258 F6F-3N Hellcat Night Fighter Replica

The Trumpeter 02258 F6F-3N Hellcat kit enables builders to assemble a true-to-scale version of the World War II night fighter. The Hellcat entered carrier service in November 1943 and was central to night interception missions. This F6F-3N variant includes the AN/APS-6 radar system, visible as the starboard wing antenna and the radar screen in the cockpit, faithfully suggested in the kit parts.

Combat Role and Modelling Challenges

Known for its solid performance, the F6F Hellcat was adapted to night fighting with specific avionics and sensors. Model builders will appreciate the detailed moulding and the level of assembly required, which rewards accurate painting and careful construction.

Exhibit and Scale Presence

At a wingspan of 418.25mm and a length of 320mm, the finished model makes a strong display statement. Precise proportions, a clear cowling and a photo film instrument panel contribute to a professional-looking finish for shelf or case exhibits.
