Hellcat N30FG

Does anyone have any ground or air to air with the new british paint scheme? T.I.A.

Nope, my shots of it are in the Hanger, but both of this month's "Challange Publications" have a shot of Steve Hinton flying her back from the paint shop.

I got the latest Air Classics,

is that Hellcat the one that belonged to PoF and Mr. Maloney or was that Bob Ponds Hellcat ?? Either way, a real interesting paint job.

The question is : Did they get the colours right?

:wink: :lol: 8)

Actually it's neither of those. Bob Pond's and the POF's Hellcats are F6F-5s. 41930/N30FG is a F6F-3.

I have several hanger shots of this aircraft in Chino. I could post tonight if I have some time.

Wasn't this a/c moved to the midwest some where for dispaly, out of Chino?
