♦This is a 1/48 scale plastic model assembly kit. Length: 184mm, wingspan: 242mm. ♦The modified form with four wing machine guns is faithfully depicted. ♦Recreations of minute rivets and panel lines ensure there is plenty of detail. ♦This kit can also be assembled as a Royal Navy Martlet Mk.V aircraft. ♦The complex landing gear is recreated using a limited number of parts, without compromising detail on the landing gear or its bays. ♦Includes one RAF and two US Navy marking options, plus a seated pilot figure.
-
The decals in the kit include the so-called "invasion stripes" which were applied to British aircraft during the Normandy landings.
-
This marking option recreates an FM-1 Wildcat from VC-33, based on the USS Nassau (CVE-16).
-
Here is an aircraft from the VC-58 unit, flying from the USS Guadalcanal.
-
A pilot figure adds even more life to the model.
