Hi all,
The above image is supposedly of an F6F-3 with the BuNo of 40198. However...this Hellcat features the original slanted antenna mast which, according to page 21 of Barrett Tillman's Hellcat: The F6F in World War II, was discontinued in Hellcat production after the first 909 F6F-3's.
Does anyone here know if the Hellcat in the photo really is BuNo 40198? (I very much doubt it.)
Thanks
