F6F-5 Hellcat, White 59 |
Collectibles.
A very nice earlier version of the Matchbox Hellcat. The gloss paint
looks great, and the white insignia is generally well applied. The
exhaust effects and flash-burns on the guns are especially good. However,
the cowling is not quite as midnight-blue as the paint, so it comes
off looking very plastic, which, of course, it is.
