Below we have included abit of history about the F4F Wildcat The Grumman F4F Wildcat was an American carrier-based fighter aircraft that began service with both the United States Navy and the British Royal Navy (as the Martlet ) in 1940. First used in combat by the British in Europe, the Wildcat was the only effective fighter available to the United States Navy and Marine Corps in the Pacific Theater during the early part of World War II in 1941 and 1942; the disappointing Brewster Buffalo was withdrawn in favor of the Wildcat and replaced as units became available. With a top speed of 318 mph (512 km/h), the Wildcat was outperformed by the faster 331 mph (533 km/h), more maneuverable, and longer ranged Mitsubishi A6M Zero . But the F4F's ruggedness, coupled with tactics such as the Thach Weave , resulted in an air combat kill-to-loss ratio of 5.9:1 in 1942 and 6.9:1 for the entire war This is a detailed, Historically accurate reproductions of classic aircraft from around the world. Will be dispatched in its own sealed blister packaging by 2nd class recorded post.
