I have the VF-20 1/48 Hellcat weekend addition from EDUARD. It’s a F6F-5. There are two types of rockets for the kit. I was wondering which were applicable for this kit?

The 5” HVAR type would be the most common type used for a USN F6F-5. What are the kit rocket options? Do they also include a British Fleet Air Arm type? Perhaps the 60lb type?

Yes, the 60 lb rocket has a larger diameterm warhead than the rocket motor body. The standard 5” HVAR is constant diameter for the warhead and rocket motor body.
