The Grumman F4F Wildcat was a US Navy deck fighter from the Second World War built at the Grumman plant. When the US entered the war in 1941, the Wildcats were the US Navy's primary deck fighters and were gradually replacing the older aircraft from the base squadrons. Wildcats were the only fighter protection for the US fleet. In the Pacific, the main opponents of the Wildcats were the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M fighters, popularly known as "Zero".
The aircraft developed by COBI received the historic colors of the pilot who became the first fighter ace of the American Navy! Particularly noteworthy are such historical details as the emblem with the cat Felix and the number of victories placed next to the cockpit.
The plane, designed in a scale of 1:32, was released under the license of the Northrop Grumman aviation company! It has a movable propeller, ailerons and rotating wheels with rubber tires. The cockpit can be opened to place a heroic pilot figure at the controls. The plane has been covered with high-quality prints that do not wear off even during intensive use. Stickers are completely dispensed with in this set. The prints reflect the historical markings and equipment of the aircraft from the Pacific War period.
The set also includes a special stand, which makes the display of the model more attractive, and a plate with the name of the plane. The plane is also a perfect complement to the Historical Collection and a perfect pair for the already-released Mitsubishi A6m2 "ZERO-SEN" set.

Excellent quality and an overall easy build. Love the way it looks.
It was great! Just some parts of the model I don’t really like. For example the mini fig would. Not properly go in so I had to remove the legs also since the mini fig was so tall the top of the glass cracked
8/10 also I put the wrong picture don’t know how to fix it
I honestly bought this kit just to add to my collection of navy fighters and was not expecting much in terms of its beauty and realism. I could not have been more wrong about my expectations for this plane. Cobi did an excellent job of making what was an ugly and rugged fighter in WW2 look like a masterpiece with wings. I am amazed by the detail of the landing gear and the way that they made the kits shape almost exactly like the real thing. The kit was relatively easy to assemble and came together well. Another success by Cobi. Keep up the good work.
I’ve bought 8WW2 planes and one USS enterprise aircraft carrier and I love them all. I also pre-ordered the Japanese aircraft carrier and I’ve noticed that they are out of stock. I was wondering when I might receive mine.
