F6F Hellcat.

Post by Stuart »

Does anyone have either of these books in their collection - if so, could you tell me if they have any 1/72 or 1/48 three view plans? (or if you do know of a book with such a thing)

I need to drill out holes to fit some gun barrels on the kit I'm building, but need to know the right place to put them

Thanks!

I have a soft-copy of the "In action" book and in it there is no three view plans at all.

To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thanks Lyle, it'll do at a pinch I think. I do have a similar drawing, I was just hoping for a bit more detail around the leading edge.

You can learn all the math in the 'Verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
