The Trumpeter 1:32 F6F-5N Hellcat kit captures the night-fighting variant with fidelity to its wartime role. Fitted with an AN/APS-6 radar and a heavier weapons fit, the F6F-5N carried two 20mm cannons alongside four .50 cal guns to engage targets at night.
Grumman produced 1,432 of the F6F-5N, which operated with both Navy and Marine Corps units from carriers and forward airfields. The radar installation and armament changes are the main differences from the baseline F6F-5.
Designed for modellers who enjoy complex kits, this set includes 374 plastic pieces and features selectable folded flaps and wings for varied display poses. A clear engine cover highlights internal detail, and the assembled model spans 418mm across the wings and measures 320mm long.
