About product

Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat engine 1:48 - SBS Model

A detailed resin and 3D-printed set of the radial engine of the Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat carrier fighter in 1:48 scale from SBS Model. The set is aimed at more experienced modelers and serves as a faithful replacement for the engine of an injection-molded Wildcat kit. It is not a stand-alone airplane model: you add the engine to your own kit in the same scale, which the manufacturer identifies as the Academy one. The detail of the radial engine brings the nose of the fuselage to life, especially with the cowling flaps open.

The real subject

The Grumman F4F Wildcat was an American carrier fighter of the early Second World War, flown above all in the Pacific. It was powered by the air-cooled Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp radial engine. The F4F-4 version had folding wings and heavier armament so that it would serve better on the decks of aircraft carriers.

Usage tips

Wash the parts first, cut the print supports away carefully and clean them up with respiratory protection. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Lay down a primer before painting; fine washes and dry brushing will bring out the cylinder heads and the plumbing of the radial engine.

Who the set is for

  • For more experienced modelers who work with resin and 3D prints
  • For builders of Wildcat fighters in 1:48 scale
  • For those who want to replace the engine with finer detail
  • For fans of American carrier aviation of the Second World War

This is a detailed engine set, not a complete model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a detailed set of the engine alone, which you add to your own Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat kit in 1:48 scale.

The engine is made in versions for several popular F4F-4 kits in 1:48 scale; this boxing is intended for the Academy kit, as the manufacturer states in the product name.

The air-cooled Pratt & Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp radial. The detail of the radial stands out especially with the engine cowling open.
