Target Practice Drone Plastic Model Hellcat Aircraft Kit

Hellcat Target Practice WWII Drone Model kit

A WW2 Hellcat plane. After the war, some planes were painted orange and used as drones (pilot less) for target practice.

I saw a plane like this in the model magazine below, Finescale Modeler, and thought it would be a good project. There is no article, really just a single picture, but that was enough for me to come up with my own version.

It is painted testors Gloss Orange, coated with Testors Dullcoat and then weathered. The kit is 1/48 scale. I don't remember what brand it was.

Cockpit: An Illustrated History of W W II Aircraft Interiors - The aircraft designed and built during the crisis of war were marvels of technology and ingenuity, but they were hardly built for comfort. Nor did they offer more than a thin sheet of aluminum and glass as protection from the hostile environment at 30,000 feet. COCPIT details the cockpits and aircraft of a classic period in the development and perfection of propeller-driven aircraft and the beginning of jet aviation.
Shot to Hell: Stories and the Photos of Ravaged WWII Warbirds - Most of the photos in this fascinating collection have never before been published, they are well reproduced, and the captions are crisp and informative. Plus I could not find one error of fact. People who read this sort of material know that in itself is an achievement! Although this is mostly a picture book, the accompanying text flows smoothly and provides a good sense of the times.
Attack of the Drones - Nowhere in the world of military technology is the transition from science fiction to science fact more astounding than in the dark world of autonomous aerial combat vehicles. Before there were autonomous war machines, there were unmanned war machines. After a brief history of unmanned aerial vehicles, we reach the autumn of 2001. At that time, unmanned, remotely-piloted reconnaissance aircraft were first adapted for offensive combat operations. However, even at that time, work was already progressing on the first generation of combat aircraft that could both fly AND fight without crews.- Latest technology in the quest for the "robotic battlefield"- Subject of a "PBS" documentary and "History Channel" specials- Another key anti-terrorist weapon (and so far, very successful).
