1/48 USN F4F-4 Wildcat "Battle of Midway"
The Academy's 1/72nd scale model of the USN F4F-4 Wildcat "Battle of Midway" features the legendary Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat fighter aircraft that played a key role in the Battle of Midway in June 1942. The Wildcat was the US Navy's primary fighter aircraft in the early days of the war in the Pacific, where it proved its worth against Japanese aircraft. The kit includes detailed plastic parts, a realistic cockpit and decals for historically accurate markings. Package does not include paint or glue needed for assembly.
The Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat was the main deck fighter aircraft of the US Navy and Marine Corps at the beginning of World War II. Compared to the previous variant, it had folding wings, reinforced armament with six machine guns, and better armor, which increased its combat effectiveness but reduced its climbability and maneuverability.
The Wildcat proved its worth at the Battle of Midway in June 1942, where it accompanied American dive bombers and torpedo planes in attacks on the Japanese fleet. Although it was less maneuverable in direct combat than the Japanese A6M Zero, its durability and hit-and-run tactics made it effective against enemy fighters and helped turn the tide of the war in the Pacific.
The Academy 1/72 USN F4F-4 Wildcat "Battle of Midway" kit features precision crafted plastic parts, detailed cockpit, landing gear and the option to build the model with the wings folded or unfolded. The model includes authentic decals for the aircraft deployed in the Battle of Midway.
The high level of detail and historical accuracy make this model ideal for modelers interested in WWII naval aviation and the iconic Pacific air battles.
The package does not include the paint or glue needed for assembly.
