About product

F4F-4 Wildcat control surfaces - 1:72 (Aires)

A resin detail set, not an aircraft kit. This set in finely cast resin refines the control surfaces of the American Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat carrier fighter in 1:72 scale. It replaces the parts from the box with faithfully rendered ailerons, elevator and rudder with a fine texture of ribs and skin and makes it possible to fit them in a deflected position. The set is intended for more advanced modelers with resin experience.

What the set is for

Deflected control surfaces give a static model dynamism at once and show careful work. The casting faithfully captures the texture of the skin as well as the thin trailing edges, which are hard to create from solid plastic. Once painted and lightly weathered, the transitions between the fixed and the movable part look completely natural and set off the rugged shapes of this early US Navy carrier fighter.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
  • Cut off the casting blocks and sand the surfaces with respiratory protection
  • Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate)
  • Check the degree of deflection of the surfaces with a dry fit, according to the scene you have in mind

Who the set is for

  • For builders of the F4F-4 Wildcat carrier fighter in 1:72 scale
  • For advanced modelers with resin experience
  • For lovers of American carrier subjects and dynamic poses

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