Eduard 644304 F4F-4 w/ late wheels LööKplus ACADEMY 1/48 – advanced cockpit and wheels detail set for the Wildcat model

Eduard 644304 F4F-4 w/ late wheels LööKplus is a specialist accessory set designed for the popular 1/48 scale Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat model, dedicated for Academy kits. The Wildcat was one of the key carrier-based fighters of the United States Navy during World War II, heavily used in the Battle of Midway (June 1942), the Solomon Islands campaign, and the Guadalcanal battles. Its years of service spanned almost the entire period of World War II, with the F4F-4 aircraft forming the core of the American carrier fighter force until the introduction of the Hellcat.

The Eduard 644304 LööKplus set stands out with its precisely cast resin instrument panel, which comes fully pre-painted in color – completely eliminating the need to meticulously paint the tiniest cockpit details. The panel offers excellent historical accuracy for the late F4F-4 variants and is ready to be glued in without the need to modify the original cockpit structure.
