It was characterized by a solid construction, high firepower and ease of piloting which made it extremely effective in combat. This plane played a key role in the Battle of Midway, the Battle of Leyte and many other campaigns in the Pacific. It was one of the main factors in the dominance of American aviation over the Japanese. Now this Pacific legend will also be available in the COBI collection! From 235 high-quality elements you can build a beautiful model of this iconic plane. The plane was made of blocks in navy blue, blue and white. This is exactly the paint job that the US Navy planes had! In addition the plane has a movable propeller and detachable landing gear. This model is perfect for all aviation fans and those interested in the Pacific War. The F6F Hellcat shot down more enemy aircraft than any other American fighter during World War II. With 5,156 confirmed kills, the Hellcat had a win-loss ratio of 19:1, the best of any fighter used in the conflict. After the end of World War II Hellcats were used by the U.S. Navy and other militaries around the world, including France and Uruguay. They also served in the Korean War, primarily as trainers and in support roles. The Grumman F6F Hellcat remains one of the most acclaimed fighters of World War II, valued for its effectiveness, durability and ease of operation. It was a key factor in the success of Allied air operations in the Pacific and is considered one of the best fighters of its time. ## Features - 235 high-quality elements - Assembled 1:48 Scale model dimensions (length x width x height): 21.5cm (8.46") x 27cm (10.63") x 10cm (3.94") - Manufactured in the EU by a company with over 20 years of tradition - Clear and intuitive instructions based on drawings and icons - Fully compatible with other brands of construction blocks ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DGYV8X6K | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Assembly Instructions Description | Clear and intuitive instructions based on drawings and icons | | Battery Description | Without battery | | Best Sellers Rank | #187,544 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #5,952 in Toy Building Sets | | Brand Name | COBI | | CPSIA Cautionary Statement | Choking Hazard - Small Parts | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (52) | | Educational Objective | Analytical Skill, Concentration, Construction Skills, Creative Thinking, STEM | | Frame Material Type | Plastic | | Included Components | Instruction Manual | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Dimensions | 8.46 x 10.63 x 3.94 inches | | Item Type Name | Building Kit | | Item Weight | 1.92 ounces | | Manufacturer | COBI | | Manufacturer Part Number | COBI-5883 | | Manufacturer recommended age | 6 years and up | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Grumman F6F Hellcat Aircraft | | Model Number | 5883 | | Model Year | 1943 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 235 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Other Special Features of the Product | Non Toxic | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Style | Classic | | Scale | 1:48 Scale | | Set Name | Set #5883 | | Size | 8.46 x 10.63 x 3.94 inches | | Skill Level | Intermediate | | Theme | Vehicle | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Historical Collection WWII Grumman F6F Hellcat Aircraft - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Z+1TMR+fL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - COBI Historical Collection WWII Grumman F6F Hellcat Aircraft - COBI Historical Collection WWII Grumman TBF Avenger Aircraft - COBI Easy Planes Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero=SEN scale1:48, 166 Pieces --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/663137435-historical-collection-wwii-grumman-f6f-hellcat-aircraft](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/663137435-historical-collection-wwii-grumman-f6f-hellcat-aircraft) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
