Reviews
Quality work by FDD once again comes to the fore with their F6F-3 Hellcat which is slowly becoming one of my favorite planes of the war. In this case, the 3D print is crisp, clean, and properly scaled. The print is smoother than a baby's bum. The slight wing dihedral is captured nicely. My only complaint? That there isn't a -5 model available!
