Default New Giant Top Flite F6F Hellcat coming soon?
Has anyone seen or heard anything about a new Hellcat giant scale coming out by Top Flite in the near future?

Check the replacement parts for TF giant planes. That's where I first got a hint. Mid-February.

Where are you seeing that? I assume we are talking ARF as I can't imagine we will ever see another warbird kit from TF. Would welcome a Hellcat ARF (or kit for that matter) from TF and would only add that it's about time! Hope the rumors are true.

They did the same thing with the giant F4U,it appeared and disappeared and then it came out a month or so later.Creates a buzz.

Of course it's an ARF. Why do kit builders post on ARF threads and condemn/complain about ARF products?

FIRST, if you're referring to my post about being interested only if it's a kit, I DIDN'T CONDEMN OR COMPLAIN ABOUT IT POSSIBLY BEING AN ARF
SECOND, THE TERM ARF WASN'T USED UNTIL POST SIX, MEANING THE THREAD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PLANE BEING AN ARF OR KIT

Touchy much? The thread was started about a potential product that nobody was sure even existed, much less in exactly what form. And who condemned or complained about anything?

I'm already saving my pennies. If the Hellcat is at least as good as the rest of TF's giant scale ARF line up I will have one and it will get the full "bash" treatment. You can NEVER have too many Hellcats!

SWORDSN,

Did you get the standard or the long nose version of the WildHare Hellcat?
