White Ensign Models continues to turn out some very interesting detail sets in their 1/350 scale range. In this increment, they are detailing up the Trumpeter aircraft set that contains ten Grumman F6F Hellcats. These aircraft sets from Trumpeter are designed to expand the aircraft composition for their own 1/350 WW2 aircraft carriers that include the Lexington, Hornet and Essex.
This detail set provides each of the ten Trumpeter Hellcats with:
- Main landing gear doors
- Propeller
- Tailwheel
These photo-etched parts will provide an additional level of detail and fidelity to your aircraft carrier's airwing. But if this still isn't enough detail for you, check out their photo-etched cockpit interior set for the Hellcat!
Just when you thought you couldn't find any greater detail in 1/350 scale, White Ensign Models has come alongside with their latest creations.
Definitely recommended for advanced ship builders!
My sincere thanks to White Ensign Models for this review sample!
