    Default F6F love

    After a search on the site and not much results, this may be due to my bad searching, I have not found any info regarding the F6F Hellcat. Is there an agreed maneuver deck , hit level and card?
    As far as I can tell the Hellcat shot down nearly 2/3rds of the Japanese fighters in the Pacific, according to Grumman. I have been using the cards form my FW 190Ds, and giving 21 hits.
    Please wizards of electronic graphic wonders, create a Hellcat card!
    Thanks

    The tentative deck from the Committee is the Q deck for all models of the F6F.

    Thanks for posting these. I have been looking for these too! I thought that oldguy59 had posted a F6F card somewhere?

    If you are not into painting models, Newray Sky Pilot have produced a 1/190 scale F6F, which is usable alongside Ares models.

    Yeah. What up with a guy that doesn't put all his plane cards in a convenient location that even he can find when he looks for them?

    PS: Wander through the Official Painting Threads for specific planes. I do "random acts of carding" on people who post nice paint jobs, and even more likely for ones that identify their units and pilots.

    Info on this plane?

    Perhaps: F6F-3, from the carrier VF-9 USS Essex

    No. 17 flown by Lt(jg) Harold E 'Handsome Hal' Vita of VF-9, USS Essex, September, 1943

    I can't find any photos of Harold E. Vita online. Supposely up to six victories.

    Perhaps, an image might be available, if someone has access to this book: Amazon.com - F6FHellcat Aces of VF-9

    Looks very nice, but finding it is a bear.
