DESCRIPTION

1/900th scale F4F Wildcat Fighter model. Certain elements not to scale.

The F4F Wildcat was a carrier-borne fighter, introduced into the US and British navies in 1940. While it was outperformed by its primary rival, the Japanese A6M Zero, its ruggedness and superior tactics gave it an edge. The F4F, which was suitable for escort carriers, unlike its successor the F6F, continued production throughout the war.

This model is designed and tested at 1/900th scale, but up-scaling and down-scaling are possible. Since the model is optimized for 1/900th scale, it is not ideal to print larger versions due to a lack of detail. The model has been enlarged along the z axis to allow for better printing and accentuation of detail. The model has also been given thicker elements for strength. The wingspan and overall length are to scale.

Available are both individual and squadron files. You can find the stand at https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-print-models/miniatures/vehicles/stand-for-miniature-aircraft.

This is part of my collection of WWII aircaft, keep an eye out for more to come. If you have a specific request, message me and I'll bump it up my list.

Update 26 Oct 19: Added option with propellors. Rearranged squadron option. Adjustments for better printability.

Tested with PLA at .08mm layer height with .4mm nozzle.
