Eduard SIN648115 FM-2 w/ armoured headrest ESSENTIAL 1/48 – Model Accessories Set

Introducing the Eduard SIN648115 FM-2 w/ armoured headrest ESSENTIAL accessory set in 1/48 scale, dedicated to the American carrier-based fighter model Grumman FM-2 Wildcat. This product has been created for the most demanding modellers who wish to faithfully capture both the appearance and historical accuracy of their build.

• Scale: 1/48
• Country of use: United States of America
• Service period: World War II. The Grumman FM-2 Wildcat was widely used by the US Navy from 1943 to 1945, mainly on escort carriers during battles in the Pacific – including the battles of Saipan, Leyte, and during the Philippine Sea operations.
• Set contents: four premium Eduard add-on sets for the FM-2 kit, include:
  • 648886 – detailed cockpit set (resin + photo-etched parts)
  • 648887 – realistic engine and exhaust components (resin)
  • 648896 – landing gear (BRONZE legs – metal, resin parts)
  • 648901 – landing gear wheels (high-resolution resin)
• Material: resin, metal (BRONZE), photo-etched details
• Category: resin upgrade set for plastic model kits

This set is the perfect choice for those wishing to take their model to a completely new level of realism. The use of resin parts ensures outstanding detail in the cockpit, landing gear, and engine assembly. Metal landing gear legs made of BRONZE provide extra strength and a more authentic appearance compared to plastic equivalents. The photo-etched add-ons enhance your model with precise details unattainable in standard kits.

We especially recommend this set for intermediate and advanced modellers who aim for realism and historical accuracy. This product allows you to turn even a basic kit into a model visually ready for a diorama or a contest display. We rate the assembly difficulty at 4 out of 5 – it requires skills working with small, delicate parts and knowledge of model-building techniques using resin and metal components.

If you dream of making your FM-2 Wildcat a real gem in your collection – choose the Eduard SIN648115 set and take your modelling to the next level!
