This is the fourth and (probably final) aircraft design for Ed Diment's project Intrepid.
In early 1945 USS Intrepid already operated F4U Corsairs, but also still a handful of older Grumman F6F Hellcats.
The M18 Hellcat was an American tank destroyer of World War II. Armed with a 76 mm cannon, the vehicle was the fastest tracked, armored fighting vehicle during World War II with a top speed up to 60 mph (92kph). The speed was attained by keeping armor to a minimum, no more than 1" thick. Hellcat crews took advantage of the vehicle's speed to minimize the enemy's ability to pierce its thin armor.

I really enjoyed building the Hellcat, and I hope you do like it as much as I do.
note: I'm still experimenting how Flickr and my camera work, so if you have any tips for the photos or for my creation, please let my know in the comments.
Lots of people say how good the Mustang and the Corsair are but the Hellcat has the distiction of scoring more kills than any other U.S. aircraft in history.
The Hellcat was a larger and improved development of the Grumman Wildcat, the US Navy's main fighter at the start of WW-2. The Hellcat was faster, more manoeuvrable and had a longer range. No other aircraft in US service shot down more Japanese aircraft than the Hellcat.

Sometimes humanity must offer a sacrifice to the automotive gods in the form of heaps of shredded tires. Therefore, the Hellcat was given form.
Large, In Charge and Lowwwwwww. The YP Garage gave this example 'The Treatment'. This beast came out the other side 8w, slammed, seats 2 and yes it rolls. Technically, it scrapes. At very, very high speeds.
I hope you enjoy!

The hellcat is hard, it's so square, but the angles are pronounced just enough that the plane doesn't look right if you don't capture them, so there are all these slight angles that are hard to fit in this scale.
