About product

1:48 F4F-3 Wildcat Early (pre-war) .50 Browning barrels and early pitot tube

A precise drop-in set by MASTER for models of the Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat in 1:48 scale. It contains turned brass barrels for the .50 caliber (12.7 mm) Browning wing machine guns with drilled cooling jackets and a turned pitot tube. This early (pre-war) version has oblong cooling holes. The set replaces the plastic parts of the kit with more faithful metal ones that do not deform and take fine detailing.

The real subject

The Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat was a carrier fighter of the US Navy from the beginning of the Second World War that carried the brunt of the fighting in the Pacific until more modern types took over. Early machines differed from later ones among other things in the design of the barrel cooling jackets and in the shape of the pitot tube.

Use and fitting

  • Cut off the plastic barrel ends and replace them with the turned metal ones.
  • Glue the metal parts with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue).
  • The brass can be roughened before gluing so that the paint adheres better.
  • Fit the pitot tube at the very end of the build so that it is not damaged.

Who the set is for

For modelers who want to raise the realism of their Wildcat with fine metal details instead of plastic ones.

This is an accessory set, not an aircraft model. Paints, glue and the base kit are not included in the package.

FAQ

No, it is an accessory detail set of turned metal barrels and a pitot tube with which you improve a plastic Wildcat model.

Turned metal parts are glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); ordinary cement for plastic does not hold on metal.

The early (pre-war) barrels have oblong cooling holes, the late ones round ones; this set matches the early version.
