Replicating “White 77,” an F4F-4 Wildcat flown by 15½-victory ace Lt. James E. Swett of VMF-221, the “Fighting Falcons,” who shot down seven Japanese Aichi D3Adive bombers during his first combat mission on April 7, 1943, over Tulagi harbor. Swett received the Medal of Honor for this action.

This amazingly detailed 1/32 scale plastic model features engraved panel lines and simulated rivets, a fully outfitted cockpit with an opening canopy and a pilot figure. Wing-mounted machine guns, a centerline fuel tank, a rotating propeller, retractable landing gear, authentic markings and realistic weathering, are also included.

The Grumman F4F Wildcat was an American carrier-based fighter that began service with both the United States Navy and the Fleet Air Arm in 1940. Although first used in combat by the British in Europe, the Wildcat would become the primary carrier fighter for the first year and a half of the United States Navy's involvement in World War II in the Pacific Theater. The FM Wildcat, an improved version built by General Motors, remained in service throughout the remainder of the war on escort carriers, where larger and heavier fighters could not be used.
