Eduard SS713 FM-2 1/72 ARMA HOBBY – Photo-Etched Detail Set

The Eduard SS713 photo-etched detail set is designed for the 1/72 scale ARMA HOBBY FM-2 Wildcat model. The FM-2 is an American carrier-based fighter aircraft, used by both the US Navy and Royal Navy during World War II. The FM-2 version, produced mainly by General Motors (Eastern Aircraft Division), was a modified version of earlier Wildcats, adapted for operations from escort carriers. The aircraft participated in the most important battles in the Pacific, especially between 1943 and 1945, notably during the battles for the Mariana Islands, Leyte, and Iwo Jima.

The SS713 set from Czech manufacturer Eduard is made from the highest quality photo-etched metal. It is intended to enhance the interior and exterior details of the ARMA HOBBY FM-2 Wildcat model. The kit includes parts such as: seat belts, instrument panel, cockpit side panels, handles, minor cockpit details, and components to improve landing gear detailing. Thanks to these additions, the model gains greatly in realism and accuracy, while the included color-printed parts allow for faithful reproduction of the instrument panel and pilot harness without the need for time-consuming painting.
