1:72 Scale Diecast Metal - Grumman F6F Hellcat, 12-victory ace Lt. Hamilton

"Mac" McWhorter, VF-12, USS Randolph CV-15 US NAVY – Length: 5.75" Wingspan: 7

This Wildcat model is a single seat airplane. The cockpit is glue shut. It has no pilot figure included. A display stand is included.

This is really a "no-play" model or a "display-only" model. It is mostly metal and very heavy. It also has a number of antennas which look great but are very fragile. If you have small kids that like to play with your models, save yourself some frustration (and money) and wait till later to get a model like this one. The box is labeled as not suitable for children under 14.

The Grumman F6F Hellcat is an American carrier-based fighter aircraft of World War II. Designed to replace the earlier F4F Wildcat and to counter the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero, it was the United States Navy's dominant fighter in the second half of the Pacific War. In gaining that role, it prevailed over its faster competitor, the Vought F4U Corsair, which initially had problems with visibility and carrier landings.
