Heavy, rugged, and well-armed for its time, the Wildcat was not as fast or maneuverable as its nemesis, the Mitsubishi Zero. However, through the skill of pilots like Jimmy Thach and Butch O'Hare, it finished the war with a 6.9 to 1 kill ratio. This model kit faithfully recreates the USN F4F-4, which participated in the \"Battle of Midway,\" in 1\/48 scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic and transparent parts for assembling the USN F4F-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour marking options:\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4F4-4 BuNo. 5093\/white 23, flown by Lt.
