RESKIT RS72-0335 F4F/FM-2 "WILDCAT" WHEELS SET TYPE 2 (WEIGHTED) 1/72 is a high-quality enhancement set designed for scale aircraft models of the Grumman F4F Wildcat and FM-2 Wildcat in 1/72 scale. This set of resin wheels, featuring a realistic weighted effect, has been created for demanding modelers wishing to faithfully reproduce landing gear details on their miniatures.

Authentic Detail Reproduction
Offered by the renowned RES/KIT company, this set consists of precisely cast resin main wheels and a tail wheel, perfectly matched in size and detail to the F4F and FM-2 Wildcat variants. The special Type 2 (Weighted) version provides a weighted tire effect—meaning slight flattening and deformation at the contact point with the ground—which gives the model an unmatched realism that cannot be achieved with standard plastic parts.

• Category: Detail-up set – resin detail set for scale models

An Exceptional Addition to WWII Aircraft Models
The Grumman F4F Wildcat fighter was the main carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy during the early years of World War II. Used in battles in the Pacific, including Midway and Guadalcanal, and by the British as the Martlet. Production and use of the F4F continued from 1940 to 1945, with the FM-2 version widely used until the end of the war.

Recommendation and Difficulty Level
The RESKIT RS72-0335 set is recommended for all intermediate and advanced modelers who wish to make their models stand out with realistic landing gear details. We describe the assembly difficulty as 2/5—it requires basic modeling skills in working with resin parts but delivers a spectacular final effect. It will certainly enhance the value and authenticity of any 1/72 scale Wildcat replica.
