Since the Wright brothers' first flight in 1903, unmanned aircraft have emerged surprisingly early in aviation history. The practical application of what we now commonly refer to as "drones" began during World War II. Drones have become indispensable in the advancement of aviation technology. This kit allows you to enjoy the unique atmosphere of unmanned aircraft effortlessly.

The model represents the unmanned version of the F6F Hellcat, which fought against Japanese planes as a key combat aircraft of the US Navy, now reproduced in 1/144 scale. This kit selects the unmanned drone variant based on the late-production F6F-5, including markings for a radio-controlled unmanned target drone and its accompanying control aircraft.

Enjoy the process of painting with colorful schemes rarely used in military aircraft, such as the completely red unmanned target drone or the missile test carrier with added orange warning colors.

This model serves as an important bridge to the jet age post-war, allowing you to appreciate its unique impact.
