This is a fantastic kit and excellent value for money. Not only are there two kits in the box but full etched parts for the cockpits (pre painted) and engine and sets of paint masks for cockpit and wheels.
The kits are nicely detailed, the fit of the parts is good and the paint masks work a treat and there are a nice choice of decal options. A definite must for naval aviation fans.

Being a big Fleet Air Arm fan this is a great kit and best of all you get two aircraft (it fooled my better half who thought it was one kit!). The fit of the parts are fantastic as well as the surface detail. I have not compared the outline to any plans, but the kit looks like a Hellcat. The only problem is deciding which scheme to use.
