## Description

Product Description 1: 72 - Grumman f6f-3/5 Hellcat Set Contains: Model kit, decals and instructions.

Review: I got this model to use as an example of how to patiently assemble a model with good technique! My grandson loves, loves, loves anything having to do with WWII aircraft. While visiting him last summer we bought and assembled a couple of snap together models. Well, I think mostly I put them together. I had sent him this very model kit for Christmas the year before and found out that it had been thrown out when he and his dad ran into problems. So I thought it was time for a life lesson. I learned the life lesson. Putting model planes together takes time, a dedicated space, specialized tools and supplies, and is well worth the effort! As a first time modeler I remember first being surprised by how small the pieces were. I also learned that having good tools and supplies, like glue and paint, is important to a successful build. Well, I got the job done. Sent captioned pictures of the process to my grandchild and gave the finished plane to him when he came to visit last month. I will say that perhaps my biggest problem was the size of some of the pieces. I could barely see them! But I will say that all the pieces, no matter how small, fit well. I learned some techniques that made the process easier. Seems like a good quality kit. My grandson and I were both very happy with the result, even with the mistakes and the adjustments I made to accommodate my arthritic hands! So happy with the model and the process that I got another WWII fighter, NOT 1:72 but 1:48 this time!
