Tamiya 1/48 Grumman FM-1 Wildcat / Martlet Mk.V Scale Model Kit
The F4F Wildcat — A WWII Carrier Legend
The F4F Wildcat is one of the most successful carrier aircraft designs of WWII. The FM-1 variant was manufactured by General Motors' Eastern Aircraft Division from August 1942, with armament reduced to four wing-mounted machine guns. It also served with the British Royal Navy as the Martlet Mk.V, typically deployed on escort carriers to ward off submarines and protect vital convoys.
