We recommend this product both for experienced modelers, collectors of WWII aircraft models, and anyone aiming for an accurate 1/48 scale miniature of the Grumman FM-1.

By using the Eduard 481125 set, you will significantly increase the collector’s value of your model, improving both the quality and realism of the FM-1 Wildcat’s aerodynamic features.
