This 1:48 scale model represents the legendary Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat, the rugged carrier-based fighter of the U.S. Navy during World War II, which saw intense action in the Pacific Theater, including Midway, Coral Sea, and Guadalcanal.
The Wildcat became famous for its durability, armored construction, and ability to absorb heavy damage, making it a symbol of American resilience in the early years of the war.
The fuselage features engraved panel lines, realistic retractable landing gear, movable flaps, a detailed Pratt & Whitney R-1830 radial engine, and a faithfully reproduced three-blade propeller.
The cockpit includes complete instrumentation, accurate seat, reproduced seatbelts, optical gunsight, and a clear openable canopy.
Armament includes six .50 cal Browning machine guns, light bombs, and an optional drop tank, matching real combat loadouts.
High-quality decals depict the markings of the VF-41 Squadron aboard the USS Ranger (CV-4), finished in authentic blue-gray U.S. Navy camouflage.
A model that combines technical realism, historic accuracy, and the enduring spirit of the Pacific air war.
