    This is the F6F-5P Hellcat 135P VF-84 “Wolf Gang” USS Bunker Hill August 1945 in 1:32 scale by Hobby Master.The F6F-5P Hellcat “135P” of VF-84, nicknamed the “Wolf Gang,” operated from the carrier USS Bunker Hill (CV-17) in August 1945 as a specialized photo-reconnaissance variant of the formidable Grumman F6F Hellcat. The F6F-5P replaced some of the standard armament with camera equipment, allowing it to capture vital intelligence imagery over enemy territory while still retaining enough firepower for self-defense. Flying during the final weeks of World War II, aircraft like “135P” played a crucial role in documenting Japanese airfields, naval installations, and bomb damage assessments, helping planners refine strike missions and evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing operations. Despite being configured for reconnaissance, the Hellcat’s rugged design and reliability ensured it could survive demanding missions, making it one of the most versatile and valuable carrier-based aircraft of the Pacific theater’s closing days.Hobby Master has earned a reputation as one of the top-tier brands for die-cast aircraft due to its meticulous attention to detail, durable metal build, and rich historical accuracy. Collectors often praise their models for realistic panel lines, pad‑printed placards, functional features like removable canopies and landing gear, and authentic detachable ordnance—all hallmarks of their popular Air Power Series. Hobbyists consider Hobby Master “top‑notch,” ideal for collectors seeking museum‑grade realism and durable craftsmanship
