About the Grumman Wildcat Mk.VI

The Wildcat Mk.VI was the British Fleet Air Arm designation for the American-built FM-2 Wildcat, the final and most refined variant of Grumman’s rugged carrier fighter. Featuring a more powerful Wright R-1820 engine and lighter airframe than earlier models, the Mk.VI offered improved performance while maintaining the Wildcat’s legendary durability. These aircraft served with distinction on British escort carriers in the Atlantic and Pacific, providing vital air cover for convoys and amphibious operations. The Wildcat’s stubby profile and combat record make it an iconic symbol of early WWII naval aviation and a favorite subject for carrier aircraft enthusiasts.

What’s Included

Eduard’s CX series masks are precision-cut from thin, flexible vinyl that conforms perfectly to complex canopy curves and wheel hubs. The set typically includes canopy frame masks for both interior and exterior surfaces, wheel hub masks, and any additional glazed areas. The self-adhesive backing ensures secure placement without residue, while the material’s flexibility allows it to follow compound curves without lifting or leaking paint.
