Eduard 6481016 FM-1 wheels TAMIYA 1/48 – Resin wheels for the FM-1 aircraft model

Eduard 6481016 FM-1 wheels TAMIYA 1/48 is a professional accessory set designed for 1/48 scale FM-1 aircraft models offered by TAMIYA. This precision resin wheel set was created by the renowned Czech brand Eduard, whose products are valued by the most demanding modelers who appreciate the reproduction of even the finest details in their projects.

The FM-1 is an American carrier-based fighter aircraft, developed from the Grumman F4F Wildcat. FM-1 planes were produced during World War II for the US Navy and the British Royal Navy, where they served under the designation Martlet V. They actively participated in operations in the Atlantic and Pacific from 1942 to 1945, providing air superiority during key naval battles.

• Set scale: 1/48 – an excellent balance between detail and ease of assembly.

• Historical period: World War II
• Material: high-quality polyurethane resin – guaranteed sharp detail and durability

The set enables a significant improvement in the realism of the standard model – resin components surpass the quality of classic plastic parts, providing carefully reproduced tire treads and rim details. The factory-included painting masks increase convenience and allow even less experienced modelers to achieve perfectly separated, clean color divides between the tire and the rim.

We recommend the Eduard 6481016 FM-1 wheels TAMIYA 1/48 to both intermediate and advanced modelers who value increased authenticity in their miniatures. The assembly difficulty level is rated at 2/5 – basic skills in processing and gluing resin details as well as precise painting are required.

Using this set allows you to take your FM-1 model to a higher level of detail—it’s the perfect choice for World War II aviation enthusiasts and anyone wanting to create dioramas or competition models at the highest level of craftsmanship.
