• Historical use: Wildcat aircraft, in FM-1/FM-2 and British Wildcat V/VI variants, were intensively used in anti-submarine patrols, Atlantic convoy protection, and amphibious assault cover (Normandy, southern France), as well as in Pacific operations against Japanese aviation and Kamikaze attacks.

This model set stands out with exceptional attention to historical and technological detail. The use of photo-etched parts allows for precise reproduction of cockpit, landing gear, and external surface details, while the included masks make painting easier and protect key model areas. The laser-cut carrier deck bases provide an excellent display platform. The decals allow you to finish each model in four different color schemes—offering authentic markings from various American and British squadrons.
