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.
The Hobby Boss 80222 FM-2 Wildcat kit provides a detailed 1:72 replica suitable for builders with varying skill levels. The kit emphasises accurate external forms and offers parts that fit together cleanly for a satisfying assembly process.
Completed models make smart display pieces that communicate the FM-2s naval design and historical context, fitting well alongside other WWII fighters in a shelf collection or diorama.
