Hello,
Well,, another rare subject based on a Grumman plane. I take a seat. I'd never seen those strange pods before. Thanks for sharing.
There are a lot of odd F9F in background. Any future models??

to Bozo：I don't have any follow-up plans; the production process of this F6F-5K might take a long time, and it may be quite difficult to make the wingtip pods.

If you don't feel like scratch building the pods, which would not be very hard you could try these:
2x FFV Aden gun pods for AJ3..aestro Models MMK7205, 1:72)

Anyway, you,ve got some F9F from Hasegawa in your stash. I don't know why but it's not surprising.

Hello MID,
Great work. Don't forget the black area on the left wing. How will you paint the exhaust dirt?

Hi Bozo, it is very close to completed. The black area on wings,I will use decal. And the exhaust dirt I can use the Tamiya weathering master .

Album info

This idea is derived from only three color photographs and an article（scvhistory.com/scvhistory/lw2925.htm），So I want to build an 1/72 F6F-5K with wingtip pods on both sides.And the wingtip pod will be provided by a Hasegawa F9F.
