RESKIT RS32-0335 F4F/FM-2 "WILDCAT" WHEELS SET TYPE 2 (WEIGHTED) in 1/32 scale is a high-quality detail set designed for modelers who wish to achieve the utmost accuracy in replicating the details of their Grumman F4F Wildcat fighter model and its later FM-2 variant. The parts are intended for World War II era aircraft models and provide an excellent addition both for advanced plastic replicas and for precision custom projects.

The Grumman F4F Wildcat is one of the most recognizable American carrier-based fighter aircraft, playing a key role in Pacific battles such as the Battle of Midway (1942) and the fighting around the Solomon Islands. These aircraft were also used on British aircraft carriers under the name Martlet. The later FM-2 variant brought further improvements and became one of the primary defenders of Atlantic convoys.

The RESKIT set includes precisely replicated Type 2 main landing gear wheels with a "weighted" effect, faithfully capturing the characteristic shape and detailed tread and rim features, further enhancing the model's realism. The high-quality resin casting allows for an unprecedented sharpness of detail, far surpassing the standard plastic equivalents offered in basic kits.

This set is recommended for both experienced modelers and beginners who wish to improve the appearance of their model without excessive assembly difficulty – I rate the difficulty level as 2 on a scale of 1–5. Thanks to the appropriate production technology, assembling the resin parts is straightforward, and the fidelity of detail is sure to deliver satisfaction with the final result. I especially recommend this product to aviation enthusiasts, historical reenactors, and all those who value realism in World War II aircraft modeling.
