Moving into the props for a while, here is a nice sheet for some less than usual Hellcats. Both are in overall gloss sea blue so should be easy enough to paint. The Hasegawa F6F-5N kit is recommended for either scheme. I should note that both of these planes are drawn as either -3s or very early -5 Hellcats with the additional quarter window. I doubt if either had them, but I could be wrong.

First up is the F6F-5P from VF-84 aboard the USS Bunker Hill in 1945. It has a yellow forward cowling to add some color to things.

The other is the F6F-5N from the USS Bon Homme RIchard in 1945. No unit information is provided for this one.

There are insignia and full data markings for both aircraft. A super stencil placement guide is provided in the instructions.
