Built to replace the earlier F-4F Wildcat, the Hellcat saw plenty of combat over the Pacific during WWII. (I really need to start using PC so i can put more detail into these builds!) this was a quick lazy morning build that turned out better than i thought. Hope you guys like it! And let me know if you dont! Lol

*i did miss some details, probably because I was distracted with the landing gear lol.

    I use weightless fuselage blocks and shape them into different styles of wings. It's a pain in the butt sometimes though @Mainblocks

    The gear was a pain in the butt until I realized the way the real plane retracted @Treadmill103

    I would not think why not, but I think it's pretty much fine.

    Dang. The wings do extend too far towards the nose. I the darker color may have played tricks on my old eyes lol@DisferGoatz

    Nice job! This looks pretty dang real, you did good. I would say the wings look a bit long.... ( or maybe I'm just seeing things )but that's nothing to make this not great!!
