Eduard EX1003 F6F-3 US national insignia w/ red outline is a high-quality paint mask set dedicated to the Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat fighter model in 1/48 scale, produced by the renowned Czech company Eduard. This product belongs to the category of modeling accessories and precisely assists modelers in painting United States national markings with the characteristic red outline.

The set includes specially cut, thin, and flexible masks that allow for easy and accurate masking of surfaces when painting the insignia on the model. The masks are made from top-quality vinyl, which adheres perfectly to plastic model surfaces and leaves no residue after removal. This allows for clean and sharp paint edges, which are particularly difficult to achieve with manual masking.

It served in the Pacific from 1943, participating in, among others, the Battle of the Marianas and attacks on the Philippines and Okinawa.
