The Cactus Air Force, i.e., the combined air forces of the US Marine Corps, US Army, and US Navy, fought against Japanese air superiority to control the strategic Henderson Field airstrip. The Wildcat was the main carrier-based fighter of the US Navy, while the Airacobra, including the export version P-400, provided fighter and ground-attack support. This set commemorates the 80th anniversary of this pivotal campaign.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTechnical Information and Set Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/72\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of use: United States, World War II period (1942–1943, Pacific region – Guadalcanal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncludes: complete sprues for building the F4F-4 Wildcat and P-400\/P-39D Airacobra\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEight marking options (4 for Wildcat, 4 for Airacobra) – high-precision decals\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMasks for painting canopies and wheels – helps create realistic details\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e3D-printed parts dedicated to both models – cockpit details, armament, and equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHigh-quality injection-molded plastic, precisely engraved panel lines and detailed surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eModels for self-assembly and painting – paints and glue sold separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This Set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eArma Hobby 70049\u003c\/strong\u003e is especially appreciated by intermediate and advanced modelers who expect the highest quality details and wish to recreate authentic aircraft from the pivotal Pacific battles.
