Hobby Boss 80222 FM-2 Wildcat: Small Scale Naval Fighter

The FM-2 Wildcat began as an iteration of the Grumman Wildcat and became important in World War II naval operations. When Grumman prioritised the F6F Hellcat, General Motors manufactured Wildcats under the FM-1 label, which led to the FM-2 variant equipped with a Wright R-1820 engine of approximately 1,350 horsepower and a taller vertical tail profile.
