Hobby Master HA0304 1:32 F6F-5N Hellcat
In 1942-43 the F4U program was bogged down with delays and the USN needed a top notched carrier-based fighter. The Grumman F6F-5 was exactly what they were looking for with the first production model flying in October 1942 and 12,274 Hellcats built by the end of the war. In terms of size, the Hellcat was the second largest single engine fighter of the war, being just slightly smaller than the Republic P-47 "Thunderbolt".
In 1943 while flying with VMF-121 Major Bruce Porter shot down three Zeros. On May 22, 1945 Porter joined VMF(N)-542 on Okinawa as the new CO. His F6F-5N belonged to the former CO and wore a red heart and white “Millie Lou”. Porter replaced this with a bottle of Schenley’s whiskey and “Black Death” written in white above it on the lower right cowling. On June 15, 1945 Porter became an Ace when he downed a Kawasaki Ki-45 Nick and a G4M Betty bomber carrying a Baka Flying bomb.
