Trumpeter 02255 Grumman F4F- 3 Wildcat (EARLY) 小號手  [TP02255]

Grumman's brief and stubby-winged F4F Wildcat is one of its best-known and successful fighters. The F4F-3 Wildcat had a rather quick, curved fuselage with mid-wings of rectangular shape. The wings did not fold for carrier storage space. Most of the main areas of the airplane were found in the front part of the tubby fuselage, the fuel tank and retractable landing gear had been appropriate in pilot. This concentration of weight created for an instant handling, maneuverable fighter. Its Pratt & Whitney 1200hp, 14-cylinder, air-cooled, double row radial engine (R-1830-76 or 86) gave it a premier rate of 330 miles per hour. The F4F-3 had a variety of 845 miles. The conventional armament ended up being four .50 caliber wing mounted device weapons. Service ceiling ended up being 37,500 ft. The F4F-3 offered good durability, pilot armor, and a high dive rate. It also had good maneuverability, although it ended up being soon unearthed that it could perhaps not compete with japan Zero in this region. A standard issue from pilots had been the manual hand-cranked retracting landing gear, which required 30 cranks. One slip could cause a significant wrist injury.
