Empty graphic box of a Hellcat F6F-4
Navy Fighter ... below some history found;
Delivery of production F4F-4 Wildcat fighters, as the type
had then been named, began in November 1941, and by the
time that the Japanese launched their attacks on Pearl
Harbour a number of US Navy and US Marine Corps squadrons
had been equipped, As additional Wildcats entered service
they equipped increasing numbers of US Marine and US Navy
squadrons. In particular they served with the carriers USS
Enterprise, Hornet and Saratoga, being involved with
conspicuous success in the battles of the Coral Sea and
Midway, and the operations in Guadalcanal. They were at
the centre of all significant action in the Pacific until
superseded by more advanced aircraft in 1943, and also saw
action with the US Navy in North Africa during late 1942.
This box is part of a large modeler's collection. There
were parts in it but not for this plane. If parts are
found for this plane I will try and let the buyer know as
they belong in the box.
Storing was done poorly as no family members were left to
arrange before our purchase. Although the box is in very
good shape. Superb graphics!
Closed approx. 11.5" by 3..5" by 1.75"
Colors are bright and again, very good shape. Made in the
USA. Kit H1
Great display for the model builder or as a gift for an
old Navy man.
Consider my pictures as part of my description. Please
email with any questions prior to purchase. Thanks!
