Tamiya 1/48 F4f-4 Wildcat Model Kit

The Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat was the US Navy's front-line fighter during the critical battles of Coral Sea, Midway, and Guadalcanal in 1942. Though slower and less maneuverable than the Zero, the Wildcat's rugged construction, self-sealing fuel tanks, pilot armor, and the Thach Weave tactic allowed Navy and Marine pilots to achieve a favorable kill ratio. The F4F-4 added folding wings for carrier operations. Tamiya's 1/48 kit features detailed cockpit, R-1830 radial engine, and folding wing mechanism.
