Thanks, Bob. A little by the stroke of luck I actually found a real beauty for this campaign.

While researching the different carriers and squadrons embarked on the carriers I came across the first F6F Hellcat ace of WWII, Lt. McWhorter. He participated in the attack on Kwajalein island as part of the close support campaign and also shot down two Japanese aircraft during this short air campaign.

The Eduard Royal Class 1/48 Hellcat set includes McWhorter's F6F-3 Hellcat kit and markings for November 1944. This will be my entry for the campaign.

Reference can been seen at this link and the two pictures below.

Jesper, that'll be an awesome build ! I must get that Royal Class kit too !

Oh Dear $US 140 plus postage !!

Guys thanks for your support but it looks like this one is also a goner.
I get the chance to go back and finish a Roi-Namur diorama I’ve been working on, and when I can afford it I can finish up that Peleliu Diorama I was working on for my sister.
I have the LCM 3 and one of the M5A1’s already finished;


Thanks again but this Operation/Campaign request is completely CLOSED.
It was great working with you guys and hopefully we'll try it again.
Bob
