The Grumman F4F Wildcat was a carrier based fighter plane in WW2, used by the US and British Navies. The Grumman Marlet is the British version, powered by the Pratt & Whitney R-1830-S3C4-G engine, and fitted with armor and self-sealing fuel tanks.
Credit to Mad Physicist for the design of the landing gear, which IMO is really ingenius, whilst at the same the time providing an accurate representation.
Took me quite some time to figure out the folding wings, which was so simple in the end!! Afterwards, I found out there were instructions that Mad Physicist had made for his F6F!!! (Different method used, though)

This US naval fighter first saw combat service with the Royal Naval Fleet Air Arm a full year before the United States entered World War II. Facing the Japanese, the type was outclassed by the Mitsubishi A4M Zero, but held its own because it was better armoured and had self-sealing fuel tanks.

Hey everyone โ despite the fact that my activity has been nothing short of sporadic as of late, Iโm finally happy to present to you all my custom LEGO rendition of a Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat from World War II!
The F4F Wildcat was Grummanโs first production monoplane naval fighter. As with many โfirstsโ in the aviation industry, particularly during the interwar/WWII years, development was expectedly rocky. Before Grummanโs design would be able to be chosen by the Navy as their primary carrier-based frontline fighter, it had to be deemed superior to the reigning one: the Brewster F2A Buffalo. While the initial prototype was marginally quicker than the Buffalo, it possessed inferior maneuvrability to an intolerable degree, and was not proceeded with at this state. However, after fabricating the XF4F-3 prototype and equipping it with the Pratt & Whitney R-1830 โTwin Waspโ engine, Grumman was given a production order to see the resulting F4F-3 production model Wildcats in action with the Navy and Marine Corps, in the end beating out Brewsterโs aircraft. Particularly in the early years of the war, it was used extensively โ primarily in the Pacific Theatre. While noted as relatively inferior to its common rival there โ the Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero โ USN and USMC pilots fought hard with these Wildcats, developing tactics and learning from hard-earned lessons gained from violent aerial encounters with the enemy. With the determination from the aviators, the F4F had a cumulative kill-to-death ratio of a little under 7:1.
The model itself was fairly challenging to design for me. Incorporating realistic features as seen on real aircraft (for this thereโs the 5-degree dihedral, folding wings, and fully retractable landing gear that come to mind) is never an easy challenge. In fact, the wings when folded cannot hold themselves off the ground without assistance, nor can the model sit comfortably on its landing gear without demanding additional support. However, the fact that I was able to work these kinetic features in and still somehow have the model look the part is something Iโm pretty proud of. I did design it digitally initially, and ordered the parts through BrickLink, making changes to the digital rendition as I saw fit when the bricks were in hand. All in all, Iโm pretty happy with how it turned out (for now), and hope you all like it. Comments and feedback are much appreciated!
