Airfix Classic Kit A02070A – Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat in 1:72 scale is a plastic kit of the US Navy’s carrier-borne fighter from the early years of the Second World War. The box contains 58 plastic parts and decals for two specific marking options: VF-41 from USS Ranger during Operation Torch, or the aircraft flown by First Lieutenant James E. Swett of VMF-221 from Henderson Field, Guadalcanal, in 1943. The finished model is 12.2 cm long with a 160 mm wingspan.
Airfix Classic Kit A02070A – Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat represents the version that had become the most numerous Wildcat by the time of the battles of Midway and Guadalcanal. The Wildcat had entered US Navy service a year before the attack on Pearl Harbour, and the F4F-4 introduced folding wings and heavier armament compared with the earlier F4F-3.
