Because Mr. Bill HB, unlike their F4F Wildcat, screwed the pouch on the F6F where the cockpit scales out a bit to large for 1/48.

I want to use the better seat from the HB kit, Ed's sucks!
Left is the armour back plate, Ed (L) and HB )R).
So I have made one to fit the Ed fuselage.
Will use the ED top headrest armour plate
and the HB seat, its a bit more detailed
and not a Whole lot bigger then aftermarket seat.
I will do some mod from the HB floor.
The beat goes on.
Yes............................ and it begins.

You should do a zombie build of another Hellcat using the parts that you DIDN'T use for this one.

Thanks for looking in, annnnd all the comments!!!!
So today I filled the cavity in the fuselage at the flaps.
I used 2mm thick styrene, made wedges and glued them in.
I then filed and sanded them down
and now the cavity is filled ans smooth.
I had to replace the seat, just too big!!
Added some more goodies, both side panels,
stick, throttle box, odds and ends.
Have pre-fit the IP, peddles and other stuff.
On and on.
