About product

FM-2 Wildcat SPACE 1:48 (Eduard)

A set of 3D decals from the SPACE line of the Czech manufacturer Eduard for detailing the cockpit of the FM-2 Wildcat carrier fighter in 1:48 scale. The decals have relief and are printed in color, so once applied to the plastic parts they create a three-dimensional and legible interior without painting tiny instruments by hand. It is not an airplane kit but an add-on to a model you obtain separately.

The real subject

The FM-2 Wildcat was a lightened version of the Grumman Wildcat carrier fighter, produced in series by the Eastern Aircraft division of General Motors. It differed from the earlier machines in its Wright R-1820 radial engine and a taller fin, which balanced the greater torque. The combination of lower weight and a more powerful engine gave the aircraft a good climb and a short takeoff, so it suited small escort carriers, from which it served until the end of the Second World War. It is a single-seat machine, so the cockpit is simple and every detail in it is all the more visible.

How to use the set

Degrease the surface under the decals and rid it of dust; a smooth surface is ideal. With a sponge and a drop of detergent, moisten only the backing paper, lift the element off with tweezers and set it in place, adjusting the position with a soft brush. Fix it with white dispersion glue; do not use a decal softener or setter, they will attack the printed resin and spoil the element. Finish the interior and let it dry before you glue the fuselage halves together.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of US Navy carrier fighters in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who want a detailed cockpit quickly and without painting instruments
  • Those who build a model with the cockpit canopy slid back
  • Collectors who fine-tune the detail even on smaller models

FAQ

A set of 3D decals for the cockpit interior in 1:48 scale. The aircraft kit, paints and glue are not included.

It had a lightened airframe, a Wright R-1820 radial engine and a taller fin. The interior therefore differs from the earlier versions and the set is made precisely for the FM-2.

No. It will attack the printed resin and spoil the element. The element is lifted off moistened backing paper and fixed with white dispersion glue.
