Rugged, barrel-chested and tougher than it looks, the Grumman Wildcat held the line for Allied naval aviation early in WWII — flown by the US Navy as the FM-1 and by the Fleet Air Arm as the Martlet. Tamiya's 1/48 kit captures that stubby, purposeful shape beautifully.
What's in the box
- 1/48 scale plastic assembly kit
- The FM-1 Wildcat, flown as the Martlet by the Fleet Air Arm
- Tamiya's trademark fit and crisp detail
A great subject for anyone building a carrier-air-wing collection or a slice of early-war naval aviation.
A tough little carrier fighter with real history. Paint and cement required, sold separately — pair it with Tamiya acrylics for that naval blue-grey.
