Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat is another recently finished model. It shows an aeroplane flown by Jimmy Thach of the VF-3 squadron during the Battle of Midway. He used it to defend his mothership against Japanese torpedo bombers. Unlike FM-2 Wildcat, there are a lot of details in the wheel bay. However, assembling the undercarriage is still challenging. Fortunately, the designer included a tool that makes it easier.
