NOTES FROM OUR TECH DEPARTMENT

      This is a 1/72 Plastic Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat US Navy Fighter from
                  Academy Plastics. It's for ages 10 and up.

When the Japanese attacked the United States in 1941, the most modern fighter in the Navy was the Grumman F4F Wildcat. Although the Wildcat was small, it was not as fast or maneuverable as the Japanese Zero Fighter, but it was a very durable machine. However, in the hands of an experienced pilot, the Wildcat could best the feared Zero. Thankfully, the Grumman fighter was able to fend off the enemy until the more powerful Hellcat was available about one year later.

FEATURES: 35 plastic pieces attached to sprues and molded in grey. The surface of the plane is decorated with fully engraved panel lines and rivet detail. Highly detailed cockpit interior includes a pilot and controls. Authentic engine assembly with propeller. Sports optional position landing gear and fuel tanks. Clear plastic canopy allows close inspection of cockpit. Includes a small black stand for display purposes. Detailed pictorial instructions guide you through assembly.
