About product

F4F-4 Wildcat cockpit 1:48 (Aires)

A detail set, not an airplane model. This is a resin cockpit set for a model of the American Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat carrier-based fighter in 1:48 scale. The set replaces the cockpit from the box with a faithfully cast tub, instrument panel, side consoles and seat. Intended for experienced modelers.

What the set is for

Even in 1:48 scale the cockpit under a slid-back canopy is a striking detail. The resin castings carry sharp relief of the instruments, levers and switches that injection-molded plastic cannot manage. Photo-etched parts and a film with the dials for building a realistic instrument panel are usually included as well. The result is a faithful, deeply articulated pilot's compartment of an early carrier-based fighter.

Tips for working with resin

  • First wash the parts in warm soapy water to remove mold release residue
  • Cut the casting blocks off with a fine saw and do not snap the parts
  • Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate), as plastic cement does not hold on resin
  • Sand with respiratory protection and do not breathe in resin dust

Who the set is for

  • For builders of the F4F-4 Wildcat in 1:48 scale
  • For experienced modelers with resin experience
  • For lovers of American carrier-based fighters of the Second World War

This is a resin detail accessory, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a resin cockpit set, a replacement cockpit for a model of the F4F-4 Wildcat fighter. The base kit has to be bought separately.

As a rule a complete cockpit tub, an instrument panel, side consoles and a seat, often together with photo-etched parts and an instrument film.

Resin is bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate), as ordinary plastic cement does not hold on it. First wash the mold release agent off the parts and cut off the casting blocks.

Rather for more experienced modelers. Fitting a resin cockpit calls for precision and for working with super glue.
