Description
Arma Hobby 1/72 FM-2 Wildcat, Expert Set Model Kit (ARMHB-70031)
The aircraft was the last mass-produced variant of the Grumman F4F Wildcat carrier fighter. Designed at the end of June 1942 aeroplane was based on the XF4F-8 prototype. From the previous versions, the new fighter mounted a new, more powerful Wright R-1820 engine and had a higher rudder. At that time, the parent Grumman plant focused on the production of F6F Hellcat fighter planes and TBF Avenger torpedo-bombers. The production of the new Wildcat was transferred to the Eastern Aircraft Division plants of the General Motors (GM) group; hence the new name of the aircraft is General Motors FM-2.
