    Product details

    Background & context

    Die F4F-4 war schwerer als ihre Vorgängerin, bekam klappbare Flügel für den beengten Trägerhangar und sechs statt vier Maschinengewehre. Gegen die wendigere Mitsubishi A6M half kein Kurvenkampf, sondern Teamarbeit: Zwei Maschinen kreuzten ihre Flugwege und schoben sich gegenseitig den Verfolger vor die Rohre - die Taktik ging als Thach Weave in die Geschichte ein. Marion E. Carl flog so bei Guadalcanal und wurde zum ersten Fliegerass des US Marine Corps.

    On the tabletop

    Both markings of this F4F-4 come from the Pacific in 1942: the aircraft of Marion E. Carl with the Marine Corps on Henderson Field and one of VF-6 from the carrier USS Enterprise. Compared with its predecessor, the F4F-4 carried six machine guns and could fold its wings for the hangar on board. With 58 parts in 1:72 you reach a finished display model quickly. In a diorama it stands on an island airstrip or on a carrier deck.
