Few oircraft in the history of oeriol worfore can boas! the impoct ond cambo! credentiols of the

Grumm on F6F Hellcot, one of the fines! fighting mochines ever to toke to the skies. A product of the olready successful Grummon 'lronworks', the compony's design philosophy wos only to produce oircroft which were eosy to manufacture ond mointoin ond mus! be relioble in o combo! situotion. lmportontiy, it mus! be on excellent fighting mochine ond oble to be mostered by the average wortime pilo! following o standard conversion period. This no-nonsense opprooch ensured that the Hellcot wos reody to light ond ovoiloble in sorne numbers when they eventuolly reoched US Novy units in 1943.

Despite its combo! introduction toking place relatively lote in the wor, the Hellcat would prove to be the

'mount of □ces' ond unquestionobly ruled the skies of the Pocific Theatre. Posting sorne quite ostonishing combo! stotistics, it has been reported thot olmos! 7 5% of oll oeriol victories cloimed by US Novy pilots were attributed to the Hellcot, which eorned an impressive combo! kili ratio of 19 to l in the Pacific Theatre.

Although combo! claims con be notoriously difficult to corroborate, this mean! thot on average, nineteen enemy oircraft were destroyed for the loss of o single Hellcat, o statistic which could no! be bettered by ony other combo! oircraft in WWII. Perhops the most impressive combo! stotistic eorned by the Grummon Hellcat wos thot it mode 'Aces' of no fewer thon 305 US airmen, eoch one cloiming five victories or more.

Dons l'histoire de lo guerre oérienne, peu d' oéronefs peuvent se vonter de l'impoct et des quolités de combo! du Grummon F6F Hellcot, l'un des meilleurs ovions militoires de taus les temps. 11 ful produit dans I' usine lronworks de Grummon qui ovoit dé¡a connu un grand succes.

Ce! opporeil incarnoit lo philosophie de I' entreprise en motiere de conception ce qui consistoit a produire uniquement des ovions fociles ó fobriquer et a entretenir, oinsi que fiables en situotion de combo!. 11 devoit

égolement etre un excellent ovion d' ottoque capo ble d'etre moltrisé apres une période de conversion standard por un pilote typique en temps de guerre. (elle opproche pragmotique ossurait que le Hellcot étoit pret pour combottre et disponible en grand nombre lors de so livroison oux unités de l'oéronovole oméricaine en 1943.

Molgré son introduction ou combo! un peu tord dons le conflit, le Hellcot s'ovéra etre "l'opporeil des os" qui domino sons oucun doute les cieux du théfitre du Pacifique. Affichont des stotistiques vraiment

époustouflantes, le Hellcot aurait remporté ó lui seul en vi ron 7 5 % de toutes les victoires oériennes réclomées por les pilotes de lo marine américaine. Dons le Pacifique, il o obtenu un ratio perles / ennemis obattus de l : 19. Meme si les déclarations au combot sont certes difficilement vérifiobles, celo veut dire qu' en moyenne dix-neuf ovions ennemis furent détruits contre lo perle d'un seul Hellcot. (elle stotistique n'est pos dépossée por tout autre avion de combat pendont la Deuxieme Guerre mondiole. Peut-etre encore plus impressionnont, c'est en pilotan! les Hellcot que pos moins de 305 os oméricains réclomerent un mínimum de 5 victoires chocun.

Nur wenige Flugzeuge in der Geschichte der Luftkriegsführung kiinnen den Anspruch erheben,

¡ene richtungsweisende Wirkung und Effektivitiit in Luftkiimpfen erreicht zu haben, wie sie die

Grummon F6F Hellcat erzielt hot - eine der besten Kompfmoschinen, die ¡emals den Luftraum eroberten. Als immens robustes Produkt der in den USA ols ,,lronworks" bekonnt gewordenen Grummon

Aircraft Engineering Corporotion reflektierte die Hellcot dos zugrunde liegende Konstruktionskonzept ihres

Herstellers, nur einfoch zu fertigende und zu wortende Moschinen zu bauen, ouf die man sich in ¡eder

Kompfsituotion voll verlassen konnte. Eine derort ouflergewiihnlich leistungsfiihige Kompfmaschine musste gleichzeitig ober ouch von einem durchschnitfüh liihigen Kriegspiloten noch normoler Gewiihnungszeit zu beherrschen sein. Mil diesem gerodlinigen Ansotz wor die Hellcot sofort in griiflerer Zohl einsotzbereit, ols sie ab 1943 on Einsatzkriifte der US Novy ousgeliefert wurde.

éxitos, y cuyo filosofía de diseño se basaba en producir aviones que fueron fáciles de fabricar y mantener y que resultasen fiables en situación de combate. Y, muy importante, tenían que ser excelentes aparatos de combate y capaces de ser dominados por un piloto medio en tiempo de guerra tras un periodo de conversión estándar. Este enfoque eminentemente práctico consiguió que el Hellcot estuviera preparado poro el combate y disponible en cantidades importantes cuando llegó o lo Armado de EE.UU. en 1943.

A pesar de que entró en combate en un momento relativamente tardío de lo guerra, el Hellcat demostró ser lo

Obwohl sie domit erst relotiv spiit im Krieg in Aktion trol, bewiihrte sich die Hellcat schnell ols ,,Moschine der Fliegerosse" und beherrschte unstrittig in den Kiimpfen über dem Pozifik die Lüfte. Sie konnte dabei bemerkenswerte Ergebnisse verbuchen: No hez u 7 5 % oller von Piloten der US Novy beonspruchten Luftsiege wurden der Hellcat zugeschrieben, wobei sie im Pozifikroum dos beochtiiche Abschussverhiiltnis von 19 zu l verzeichnet hoben soll. Obwohl Abschusszohlen nur begrenzt nochweisbor sind, bedeutet das, dass durchschnittlich neunzehn feindliche Flugzeuge zerstiirt wurden, wiihrend ¡eweils nur eine einzige Hellcat dobei in Verlust ging. Ein derortiges Verhiiltnis konnte im Zweiten Weltkrieg von keinem onderen Flugzeug erzielt werden. Der wohrscheinlich von der Grummon Hellcot verbuchte beeindruckendste Wert in der

Kompfstotistik wor der, doss domit nicht weniger ols 305 omerikanische Piloten zu Fliegerossen wurden, do sie fünf oder mehr Abschüsse für sich beonspruchen konnten. el 'avión de los oses' y se convirtió en el indiscutible rey de los cielos en el Pocffico. Con unos impresionantes registros estadísticos en combate, se ho publicado que casi el 7 5% del total de victorias aéreos revindicados por los pilotos de lo Armado estadounidense se atribuyeron al Hellcat, que consiguió un asombroso índice de victorias de 19· l en el Pacífico. Aunque los supuestos victorias en combate pueden ser difíciles de corroborar, esta cifra significaba que, por término medio, se derribaban 19 aviones enemigos por cado Hellcat caído: uno estadística imposible de me¡oror por ningún otro avión de combate en lo Segundo Guerra Mundial.

Note:

This model has the option of fitting a motor to turn the propeller if required. Please see the diagrams

., below which show the assembly of the motor into the engine and the best route to feed the wiring from the motor during assembly through the charge air and oíl cooler ducts. lf you drill a couple of holes in the oíl cooler you can run the wires into the fuselage. There is a big enough space in the fuselage for a battery pack and switch that could be accessed through the hatch on the bottom
