| CPN | Comet F6F Hellcat | Parked | 30-Jan-11 12:04 |  | | Views : 1043 | | Still to do: balance, paint and permanently attach landing gear, add the pitot static tube, machinegun barrels and antennas. |

| CPN | Comet F6F Hellcat | Parked | 30-Jan-11 12:02 |  | | Views : 1093 | | Here's a progress update. The wheels are just stuck in the holes in the wing waiting for glue. I had planned on making the landing gear removable but as much fun as this build has been, it is time to move on. |

| CPN | Comet F6F Hellcat | Parked | 16-Jan-11 13:51 |  | | Views : 1280 | | Here you can see the carved cowl and the capopy detail. This thing is going to be heavy but tough, like all Grumman products. |

| CPN | Comet F6F Hellcat | Parked | 16-Jan-11 13:49 |  | | Views : 832 | | Covered in Silkspan. The fin is attached, the movable rudder will come later. The bump underneath the tail is the arresting hook fairing. |

| CPN | Comet F6F Hellcat | Parked | 16-Jan-11 13:45 |  | | Views : 760 | | This is a Comet 24" F6F I bought on Ebay. Like all Comet kits, it is minimalist in its approach. I'm going to try and fly this one. |
