The F4F-4 Wildcat became a dependable carrier fighter in World War II, notable for its solid airframe and carrier compatibility. Its distinctive barrel fuselage, tapered wingtips and narrow undercarriage defined its wartime appearance.
This 1:48 scale kit from Hobby Boss models the Wildcat with attention to its carrier-oriented features. The moulding highlights the hydraulic wing folding mechanism used to save space aboard ships, and it reflects the production run that followed the F4F-3 after more than a thousand units were ordered by the U.S. Navy by August 1942.
Building the Hobby Boss 80328 F4F-4 is rewarding for those who enjoy detailed assembly and painting. The assembled model presents well on a shelf or in a display case and fits naturally into a WWII collection.
