Description:	On April 4, 1944 the new F6F-5 took to the air. It was a much improved version of the F4F Wildcat. The designers gave the new plane a redesigned engine cowl for the engine that was now water-injected. The injection increased take off performance by 10% and increased the armament capabilities. Production of the F6F-5 lasted until November 1945 when Grumman had rolled out more than 900 “5”s. The UK received some of these aircraft under the Lend-Lease Act and they were designated Hellcat Mk. II. This plane was so lethal that it earned the nickname “Ace Maker” because of the large number of pilots that earned their 5 + victories while flying it.
Additional Info:	High quality die-cast metal with minimum use of plastic. Superb detailing in 1/72 scale. Pre-painted with pad applied markings. Comes with pilot figure. Fully assembled. Display stand included. Option to display model with wheels up or down.
