FM-1 Wildcat USS Guadalcanal
The FM-1 was the new designation for the F4F-1 when General Motors’ Eastern
Aircraft Division took over production in 1942. Popularly known as the Wildcat,
this was the plane that made history in the Pacific Theater as the number one
nemesis to Japan’s notorious Zero. Solidly constructed and equipped with heavy
armament, the carrier-launched Wildcat maintained the upper hand over the
otherwise quicker and easily maneuverable Zero throughout hostilities. This
superbly engineered re-creation captures every feature of the legendary Wildcat,
from the cockpit layout to the landing gear and authentic military markings.
