This new resin set from Cutting Edge Modelworks includes one engine cowl to replace the original kit parts.  The original Hasegawa cowling is inaccurately shaped and has a curved and pinched appearance.

This new set fixes the problems with the Hasegawa cowl.  This set is ONLY for the F6F-3 and NOT for the F6F-5. A similar corrected cowl for the F6F-5 (with the lower cowl flaps opened) is available separately in the Cutting Edge Modelworks set CEC48475.

Resin casting is of a very high quality and the panel line detail and rivet detail and engine cowl flaps is very well done.  This is a welcome resin set from Cutting Edge Modelworks for this famous WW2 fighter.

I would like to thank Cutting Edge Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
