Tamiya 61126 - 1/48 Grumman FM-1 Wildcat/Martlet Mk.V Replica Kit

Tamiya 61126 presents a 1/48 scale replica of the Grumman FM-1 Wildcat, aimed at modellers wanting a historically informed static display. The kit reproduces the compact carrier fighter form with accurate surface features and assembly-friendly parts layout.

Background and Variant Detail

The FM-1 was a wartime production variant adapted for efficient manufacture and diverse carrier use. This kit focuses on that variant's configuration and includes the Martlet Mk.V rear-view mirror update to reflect Royal Navy adaptations.

Included Components and Markings

Parts are crisply moulded to show panel lines, rivets and gun positions. The set includes a dedicated new mirror element and decals for three squadron liveries, including the well known invasion stripe markings used in major amphibious operations.
