FSX F6F Prototype

XF6F-3 prototype livery recreates Grumman’s early F6F Hellcat test aircraft at Grumman Field in July 1942, bringing historically grounded markings to the ramp and the virtual cockpit. Built for FSX, it requires the Real Flight Vertigo Studios F6F Hellcat and adds a clean, period-accurate paint scheme for authentic flights.
