503 Grumman F6F Hellcat 16.5" (GUI503)

Grumman F6F Hellcat 16.5-Inch Rubber-Band Powered Model Kit is a compact, hands-on replica designed for hobbyists who enjoy building and operating small rubber-powered aircraft. With a 16.5-inch wingspan and a simple rubber-band propulsion system, it offers an approachable project that captures the look of the legendary WWII fighter.

As a kit, it invites builders to assemble a faithful miniature of the Hellcat and enjoy a straightforward rubber-band drive for propulsion. The compact size fits well in typical hobby spaces, and the Hellcat’s history—first flown on July 26, 1942 and later a mainstay of U.S. carrier operations in the Pacific—adds context and interest for collectors and aviation enthusiasts alike.
