Hobby Boss 80328 F4F-4 Wildcat 1:48 Scale Plastic Kit  [HB-80328]

Hobby Boss 80328 F4F-4 Wildcat 1:48 Precision Replica

The F4F-4 Wildcat served as a main shipboard fighter during World War II, prized for its sturdy construction and dependable performance in carrier operations. Its barrel-shaped fuselage, distinct wing tips, and narrow-track landing gear were all practical solutions for the demands of naval aviation.

This 1:48 scale kit from Hobby Boss lets modellers reproduce the Wildcat with close attention to historical detail. The moulding emphasises the aircraft's hydraulic wing folding system, a key carrier-era feature, and reflects the type that replaced the F4F-3 after more than a thousand units were ordered by the U.S. Navy by August 1942.
