It was used by the US Navy and the British Royal Navy (Fleet Air Arm), where it was known as the Martlet Mk V. Equipped with a four-gun machine gun layout, it was marked by robust construction and excellent maneuverability, making it a worthy adversary for Japanese Zero fighters. Its service included key naval battles such as the Solomon Islands campaign, the Battle of the Atlantic, and operations in the North Sea.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eKit Information – Contents and Material\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: Plastic model kit (ProfiPack standard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eThe set includes: high-quality Eduard plastic parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAdditions: painting mask, pre-painted photo-etched PE parts, 6 painting and marking options (US Navy, Fleet Air Arm), Eduard decals\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNo resin parts or metal gun barrels, kit for self-assembly and painting (glue and paints not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommended For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Eduard 82204 FM-1 Wildcat ProfiPack 1\/48 is a great choice for intermediate and advanced modelers who value detail, precision, and a variety of historical markings.
