Hobby Boss 80222 FM-2 Wildcat: Classic Carrier Fighter Model

The FM-2 Wildcat developed from the Grumman Wildcat line and played a notable role in World War II naval operations. As Grumman moved production to the F6F Hellcat, General Motors produced Wildcats as the FM-1, which was succeeded by the FM-2 featuring a Wright R-1820 engine producing about 1,350 horsepower and a taller vertical tail.
