Well I got my second hellcat about a month ago from Jeff Micko.
My first Hellcat I had I built when I was wee lad; it was a formed balsa plane that flew with an cox 049 on a u-control. I flew the heck out of that plane till the day one of the lines let go and it did a face plant into the tarmac of the grade school lot I was flying at.
Attached is the latest delivery to my home of my new hellcat.

That looks familiar!

Hello Hellcat Brotherhood,
OK, almost a year and a half has passed since I was allowed to belong to the brotherhood. Firstly I want to thank all those kind words you have written regarding the model I built. It really encourages to keep on building and learning. Secondly at long last I managed to put the Hellcat on her wheels and here they go a few shots I took the other day at the field.
Regards from the North West of Spain.

Hey all, first post on here but enjoyed reading this thread and seeing lots of awesome hellcat models. Over the last year I've completed a Ziroli version and have been having a blast flying it. It is my first scale build and my first giant model so lots of learning along the way. Also, many thanks to Mirce for his detail sets.
May I be added to the list please?

I guess I never added any pics of my brother's Hellcat. This is another 1/8th scale bird built from one of my kits. Originally built for warbird racing we purchased it from the builder and added all the detail that was left off originally. Paint job is that of a "special gunnery target". Not sure what that means but that's what the photo caption said!

Thanks a bunch Bob. The 'cat flies great and compliments my all red prototype very nicely. I have blown the design up to 1/6th scale (86 inches) and my brother and I have made a good start on it. It's been stalled for a while now but I think we are close to getting back to work on it. Can't have too many Hellcats! Congrats on the new Tigercat. I am not ashamed to say that I am green with envy. I'm trying to come up with enough money to purchase the new Flightline Tigercat electric foamy. Looks and flies great but not quite as impressive as the big ESM bird! I will look forward to seeing a thread on yours when you get started.
