The FM-2 Wildcat is one of the last and most successful iterations of the famous Grumman Wildcat fighter, produced by Eastern Aircraft for the United States Navy from 1943 onwards. The aircraft was distinguished by a reinforced engine and improved aerodynamics, making it ideally suited for operations from escort carriers, mainly in the Pacific. FM-2 Wildcats took part in numerous operations, for example, covering convoys in the Atlantic, as well as participating in the battles of the Philippines and Okinawa.

The kit includes markings for aircraft from various units and bases, including MCAS Ewa (Hawaii, 1940s), MCAS Florida, USS Solomons (1945), as well as examples used for training purposes after the war (Johnsville, Pennsylvania, 1946). Such a wide range enables faithful recreation of specific episodes in the history of US naval aviation.

The Arma Hobby model is characterized by excellent detail quality, precise fit of the parts, and a carefully designed assembly manual, making the build process enjoyable even for intermediate modelers. Paints and glue are not included.
