F6F-3 & F6F-5 cowlings

Those panels were removable so it's very easy to have different styles on the same aircraft. There is also a data plate in the cockpit that specified manufacture's information such as aircraft type, in this case an F6F-3. Joe, can you provide a picture of the cockpit data plate?

Thanks for the information, guys.

Darren, If the Hellcat is not at an airshow this weekend, I'll try to find the data plate in the cockpit and take a picture. The CAF website is where I got the info about -3 fuselage and -5 pieces. I have only been "volunteering" since Aug'17 and joined the crew for the Hellcat and Yak in Oct. My younger son helps work on the planes too. He has 2 years GA maintenance training and fits right in with all the "experienced" people. View attachment 493874
