Eduard 648889 FM-2 Folding Wings PRINT EDUARD 1/48 – Foldable wing set for FM-2 in 1/48 scale

We present an extremely precise set of accessories for FM-2 Wildcat models in 1/48 scale – Eduard 648889 FM-2 Folding Wings PRINT EDUARD. This is an advanced modeling accessory kit that will allow any modeler to faithfully recreate the characteristic folding wings of the FM-2 Navy fighter, used by the United States Navy during World War II. The original FM-2 Wildcat was widely used on aircraft carriers and escort carriers in 1943–1945, and featured a unique wing construction that enabled them to fold, thus greatly facilitating operations in the limited space of a carrier deck.

This specialized set was created with experienced modelers in mind, who want to elevate their build to the level of a competition miniature. Thanks to the use of innovative direct 3D printing technology, the wing elements offer excellent detail and dimensional accuracy, difficult to achieve with traditional manufacturing methods. The set is designed for Eduard FM-2 kits in 1/48 scale, but may also be adapted for other kits of this aircraft in the same scale by advanced modelers.
