The F6F Hellcat was designed in response to the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero fighters and became a dominant force in the Pacific Theater during World War II. Known for its solid construction, high firepower, and ease of piloting, the Hellcat played a key role in major battles, including the Battle of Midway and the Battle of Leyte. It was a critical factor in the American aviation dominance over the Japanese forces. Now, this Pacific legend is available in the COBI collection!
This 1:48 scale model consists of 235 high-quality COBI building blocks, featuring the authentic navy blue, blue, and white paint job typical of US Navy planes. The model includes a movable propeller and detachable landing gear, making it a great addition for all aviation enthusiasts and fans of Pacific War history.
The F6F Hellcat boasts an impressive combat record, with 5,156 confirmed kills, making it the most successful American fighter of WWII, with a win-loss ratio of 19:1. After WWII, Hellcats continued to serve with the U.S. Navy, as well as militaries in France and Uruguay, and were used in the Korean War.
