P**N
It's an OK build for a model available nowhere else at this scale
The kit is OK and fills a niche for a 1:72 Hellcat. The wings and fuselage are on the chunky side, with very small and fragile bits needed to be glued on. Some detail in cockpit, no pilot included, and the canopy looks odd being left open due to the thickness of the transparent plastic. Landing gear assembly is also quite basic. The decals for the vertical tail fin did not fit well and had to be cut. However, the end product looks satisfactory and scales very nicely with other 1:72 kits of the Pacific theater from other makers.
