    Hello Nick,

    Very much enjoyed your build thread and successful Hellcat flight!  I will be starting on the Bates 96" Hellcat probably summer or Fall of 2025. Right now, I am finishing up my second 1/5 Bates F8F Bearcat. All the "building" is done and I am into the glassing and detailing process.  Currently flying a Bates 1/5 scale Wildcat with a Saito FG-90. I also have been flying a scratch-built Grumman XF5F Skyrocket (twin). My goal is to have 4 Grumman warbirds all built and flying at the same time!

    I will definitely save your build thread for when I break ground on my Hellcat!

    Thanks,

    Richard

    Grumman Cats cant beat them 👍 (grown up on fighter collection displays even now i still love them )my modeling budget & skills prevent me from having such collection )

    Well as promised here are the pictures of the cockpit kit. Two kits, one for the High back model and one for the 51D Low back as there is more room for the radio behind the seat in the D than the B. The radio is in two parts for you to decide if you want the height. It will need assembling, enabling it to be painted, just use a dab of CA. I used drab olive, satin black and a bit of brown for the leather headrest. The kit is £22.99 which includes the Pilot Top & Legs which is £8.99 if you just want that on it's own.

  4. As I have a WR spitfire as my regular flying model & early spits  are not my favourite I probably won’t want another unless something happened , 

    I would however like a later model spit done down the same lines as the tempest/ fw190. MK XIV upwards low back  clipped wings if it were to ever happen

    The main thing is to keep the overall weight down,  to avoid the complications of the twist and turn  retracts on the Corsair I built it without undercarriage. It takes off on a dolly and lands on the wings which have no special reinforcement. I planked the fuselage with 3/32" balsa instead of 1/8. It is the same size as the FW190 but I saved about 750grms on the overall weight. I get 8 minutes flight times.

    Hi

    very sorry to sidetrack slightly but could you post details of your motor /cells/ prop Etc for the Corsair 

    im on the verge of getting a short kit to do the same

  6. mossie looks great but will have to wait and see if my budget would stretch to one 

    would be interested in the he111 if it got that far to selling ( for arguments sake im calling  it a warbirds replica short kit )
