Airfix Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat 1:24 kit

The ultimate scale of aviation models, as far as we are concerned, are the big 1:24 scale kits. Airfix launched its first – the Spitfire – when many of our designers were children themselves. The excitement of childhood and the models they created has driven them to make the Hellcat the ultimate Airfix model of the decade.

Introduced in 2019, the Hellcat is an aircraft carrier-based WWII fighter, and our model allows you to build it in either ‘flight’ or ‘stored’ mode with the wings folded.

Comprising over 600 pieces, this model will involve you in developing lots of modeling skills as you gradually assemble each detail. Want to create a fully detailed engine? Go ahead! Maybe you want a nice cockpit – it’s included in this kit for you!

There are so many different options to choose from that you could easily make 3-4 models, each appearing significantly different once built. You will certainly find the time and effort repaid in this model – our designers estimate around 180 hours are required to build and finish this model to a high standard, showing what great value this kit and our hobby offer.
