A distinctive feature of these aircraft was their vertically folding wings, which allowed efficient storage on the decks of Allied aircraft carriers. FM-1 aircraft were known for their high reliability and were in service from 1942, replacing earlier, less advanced designs. Due to their compact size and ruggedness, the FM-1 became an icon of WWII naval aviation.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eScale: 1\/48\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountries of use: United States, Great Britain\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeriod of use: World War II (1942–1945)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eModel version: Folding wings\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: Model accessory set, 3D printed for plastic models\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: High-quality resin printed with direct 3D technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSet contents: 10 3D printed parts, complete set of spare plastic winglets, photo-etched elements sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePainting mask: not included\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Eduard 648945 FM-1 Folding Wings PRINT?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    This product is especially recommended for modelers seeking a high level of realism and wanting to elevate their model with superior detail quality.
