RESKIT RS48-0334 F4F/FM-2 "WILDCAT" WHEELS SET TYPE 1 (WEIGHTED) 1/48 is a high-quality upgrade set dedicated to 1/48 scale models of the Grumman F4F Wildcat fighter and its later version, the FM-2. This product, made by the renowned manufacturer RES/KIT, is crafted from finely detailed resin, ensuring an exceptional level of detail and authenticity in replica appearance.

The Grumman F4F Wildcat, which served as the main carrier-based fighter of the United States Navy at the beginning of World War II, played a key role in the Pacific theater, including the Battle of Midway (1942) and the defense of the Solomon Islands. Manufactured between 1937 and 1945, it was used primarily by the USA and the United Kingdom (called the Martlet). The FM-2 model was an improved version developed during the war, featuring a more powerful engine and upgraded flight performance. The F4F/FM-2 line entered service during World War II and was widely used by carrier-based aviation until the end of the conflict.
