When the Navy built new carriers, also more potent fighters were introduced to service (F6F and F4U). But it was missing a lightweight fighter for service on escort carriers. Grumman has designed XF4F-8 prototype with light construction, armament reduced to 4 MGs and more powerful engine P\u0026amp;W R-1830-86.  Because of increased torque of an engine, the aeroplane got a taller vertical tail for flight stability. The new Wildcat performance was significantly better than its predecessor, but only on low altitudes due to lack of two-stage supercharger. It was by design, FM-2s  tasks were performed mostly at a low level: close air support, ASW patrol and CAP. New Wildcat’s improved performance was a surprise to enemy pilots. It could fight A6M5 Zero and Bf-109G on equal terms. The last series of the aeroplane had six HVAR unguided missiles mounted underwings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew Wildcat production was made in General Motors plants under new designation FM-2. It started service in late 1943 and deserved well in Battle of Atlantic and Island Hopping Campaign on Pacific. Total of 4437 FM-2s was built, 65% of all Wildcat versions. 370 of them served with the Royal Navy as the Wildcat VI.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51341711311115,"sku":"70033","price":18.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/arma-hobby-70033-grumman-fm-2-wildcat.jpg?v=1748867981"},{"product_id":"arma-hobby-70034-1-72-grumman-fm-2-wildcat-training-cats","title":"Grumman FM-2 Wildcat ‘Training Cats’","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet contents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eplastic parts\u003cbr\u003e\n    decals with five markings options\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMarkings options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eFM-2 Wildcat, U65, Carrier Aircraft Service Unit (CASU), MCAS Ewa, Hawaii 1944s\u003cbr\u003e\n    FM-2 Wildcat, C50, training unit unnown, probably MCAS Florida, 1945\u003cbr\u003e\n    FM-2 Wildcat, LS03 (R), Unit unknown\u003cbr\u003e\n    FM-2 Wildcat, NAMU3\/1, Naval Air Modification Unit (NAMU), Johnsville, Pennsylvania, September 1946\u003cbr\u003e\n    FM-2 Wildcat, M-F 48, CVE-67, USS Solomons, US East Coast, May 1945\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51341711343883,"sku":"70034","price":18.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/arma-hobby-70034-grumman-fm-2-wildcat-training-cats.jpg?v=1748867985"},{"product_id":"arma-hobby-70048-1-72-grumman-f4f-4-wildcat","title":"Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat","description":"\u003cp\u003eSet contents:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eplastic parts\u003cbr\u003e\n    decals with two markings options\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMarkings options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eGrumman F4F-4 Wildcat®, squadron VMF-111, pilot: Sam Folsom, Western Samoa, Spring 1943\u003cbr\u003e\n    Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat®, squadron VF-11 Sundowners, Henderson Field, Guadalcanal 1943\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51341711835403,"sku":"70048","price":18.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/arma-hobby-70048-grumman-f4f-4-wildcat-1160787047.jpg?v=1749036011"},{"product_id":"arma-hobby-70065-1-72-grumman-f4f-4-wildcat-martlet-mk-ii","title":"Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat \/ Martlet Mk II","description":"\u003cp\u003eF4F-4 Wildcat® ‘Operation Torch‘ plastic kit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAssembly plastic model kit of an aeroplane\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eplastic parts\u003cbr\u003e\n    cockpit canopy and wheel masks\u003cbr\u003e\n    decals with three marking variants\u003cbr\u003e\n    free digital file - download code\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe set includes three historical markings options:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eF4F-4 Wildcat, “3512\/29-GF-10”, squadron VGF-29, crash-landed on the USS Santee during Operation Torch, November 1942\u003cbr\u003e\n    F4F-4 Wildcat, “8-26”, squadron VGF-27, Guadalcanal, April 1943\u003cbr\u003e\n    Martlet II, “AJ148 \/ Ø-7A”, No. 888 FAA Squadron from carrier HMS Formidable, Oran, Algeria, December 1942.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFree 3D file for printing accessories for F4F-4 and FM-1 (QR code to download in manual)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eIncludes seat with harness, cockpit levers details, two bombs with racks, gun barrels, whell bay chains, exhaust pipes and engine ignition ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eFile for self-printing on a 3D resin printer, consumer license for non commercial use\u003cbr\u003e\n    See the therms and regulations for using files §4a link.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe product is available in the form of 3D files in STL format.

It was called the Martlet II by the British. Known for its ruggedness and good adaptation to operating from aircraft carriers, the aircraft took part in many important naval battles in 1942-43. The F4F-4 version, equipped with folding wings, made it possible to increase the number of aircraft aboard escort carriers, which was important in operations in the Pacific, Atlantic and Mediterranean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring Operation Torch in November 1942, F4F-4 Wildcats stationed on the aircraft carrier USS Ranger and three escort carriers (USS Suwanee, Sangamon and Santee), as well as British Martlets from the carriers HMS Formidable and Victorious, supported the landing of Allied forces in North Africa. The planes wore distinctive yellow borders around the American stars on the fuselage and wings. American stars also marked British aircraft at the time. The idea was to identify them quickly against the Vichy government's French planes, but also to neutralize the resentment of the French against the British.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter this operation, American escort carriers with Wildcats moved on to new assignments in the Pacific, supporting operations in the Solomon Islands, including the battles for Guadalcanal. The yellow markings from Operation Torch were then painted over with a camouflage colour, which can be seen in photos as a fresh border around the stars. British aircraft after Operation Torch were quickly repainted with standard British markings of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arma Hobby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51341713768715,"sku":"70065","price":22.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1809\/4091\/files\/arma-hobby-70065-grumman-f4f-4-wildcat-martlet-mk-ii.jpg?v=1748868058"},{"product_id":"airfix-a02070a-1-72-grumman-f4f-4-wildcat","title":"Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe F4F Wildcat was the US Navy's primary carrier borne fighter aircraft at the start of the Second World War.

The Tomcat enjoyed an active career from the early 1970s until 2006; initially given a fleet defence role, in the 1990s the Tomcat’s superb range saw that role expanded to include strike missions, and then later that decade the addition of the LANTIRN targeting pod meant it could undertake long-range bombing runs using laser-guided ordnance. The F-14D was the final variant, which inherited its F-14B predecessor’s General Electric F110-GE-400 engines and was given major upgrades to avionics.
