The
F6F Hellcat was designed as a response to the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M
Zero fighters. It was characterized by a solid construction, high
firepower and ease of piloting which made it extremely effective in
combat. This plane played a key role in the Battle of Midway, the Battle
of Leyte and many other campaigns in the Pacific. It was one of the
main factors in the dominance of American aviation over the Japanese.
Now this Pacific legend will also be available in the COBI collection!

model is perfect for all aviation fans and those interested in the
Pacific War.
The
F6F Hellcat shot down more enemy aircraft than any other American
fighter during World War II. With 5,156 confirmed kills, the Hellcat had
a win-loss ratio of 19:1, the best of any fighter used in the conflict.
After the end of World War II Hellcats were used by the U.S. Navy and
other militaries around the world, including France and Uruguay. They
also served in the Korean War, primarily as trainers and in support
roles. The Grumman F6F Hellcat remains one of the most acclaimed
fighters of World War II, valued for its effectiveness, durability and
ease of operation. It was a key factor in the success of Allied air
operations in the Pacific and is considered one of the best fighters of
its time.
