Description
Piece together your own F4F Wildcat with this 375-piece COBI building block set! Part of COBI’s World War II Historical Collection, this set contains all of the blocks needed to construct the American fighter.
The Wildcat was an American fighter aircraft used during WWII from 1941 through 1945. The Wildcat was actually first loaned to the British before the United States entered the war, and when they did, it was the only fighter initially available to the Americans that could take off from and land on aircraft carriers. The Wildcat fought the infamous and menacing Japanese Zeros before later being replaced with upgraded aircraft. The Wildcat featured four 12.7mm Browning machine guns and was capable of carrying two 100lb bombs. It had a top speed of 331mph.
This 1:32 scale model features a rotating propeller, moveable wing flaps, a cockpit that opens, and wheels that function when the plane is rolled. A pilot minifigure and display stand are also included. Perfect for aviation and military enthusiasts ages 7+, this set brings the Wildcat to life in incredible detail! Dimensions are 10.8” long, 14” wide, and 4.1” high. ~Alex
Publisher's Description of COBI F4F Wildcat Fighter - 375 pieces (World War II Historical Collection)
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.
