                 Plastic Model Kit from Academy Hobby Models.
                             For Ages 10 and Up.

     Of the 6,477 Japanese aircraft shot down by the US Navy pilots in WWII,
5,156 were accounted to the F6F Hellcat. Prior to its operational debut in 1943
the Navy Wildcats were no match for the nimble Japanese Zero. The Hellcat, with
its speed, armor and heavy armament changed all that, becoming the dominant
fighter of the era.

          Single seat cockpit.
