This sheet is an addition to the previous Hellcat sheet and has more 'old favorites', taken from various other earlier Aeromaster sheets. In this case, all of them are F6F-3s and all are in the tricolor camouflage scheme of  sea blue, medium blue and white. Suggested kits are the Hasegawa and Otaki/Arii versions.

First is from VF-27 aboard the USS Princeton in 1944.

Next is a USS Essex bird from VF-9.

From VF-1 aboard the USS Yorktown in 1944 is this Hellcat with a green prop hub. Rather unusual amongst USN planes of the time.

Finally from VF-51 aboard the USS San Jacinto is this F6F with a touch of nose art.
