Quickboost has added the engine for the Eduard F6F Hellcat to their line of resin aircraft accessories. This latest addition is molded in a grayish resin – smooth, seamless, and bubble-free. Usually, the mold blocks are small and very easy to remove. These are a little more involved but not too bad, only larger. There is one on the back of the engine that needs to be given a little more attention to remove straight and be sanded smooth.

Comparing the Quickboost engine with the Eduard engine, you can see that the Quickboost engine has fewer parts than the Eduard one. Both seem to be detailed, but resin usually can better represent details than plastic. Basically, it’s up to the modeler to decide what he wants to do.

I very highly recommend this product if you want a nice and detailed engine for your Eduard Hellcat.

I would like to thank Quickboost and IPMS USA for the chance to do this review.
