What\u2019s the main issue you can find when building any Wildcat kit? It is a complex and delicate structure of the undercarriage folding mechanism. It is hard to paint after assembly and hard to mask when painting the rest of aeroplane. Also, you can quickly break it during handling. So fitting of whole undercarriage legs system is designed for the last stages of assembly of Arma Hobby kit, just after painting. The final touch is to add a small rear-fairing to cover it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-008.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1580276\" src=\"http:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-008-1024x490.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-008-1024x490.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-008-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-008-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-008-610x292.jpg 610w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-008-1080x517.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-008.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-006.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1580272\" src=\"http:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-006-1024x490.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-006-1024x490.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-006-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-006-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-006-610x292.jpg 610w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-006-1080x517.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-006.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-005.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1580270\" src=\"http:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-005-1024x490.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-005-1024x490.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-005-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-005-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-005-610x292.jpg 610w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-005-1080x517.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-005.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A significant feature of wheel bay is its rear bulkhead. You can see a lot of details and rivets there in model. Legs folding chains are made from photo-etched parts for a lightweight look.\u00a0 Some engine mount tubing is visible in the lower part of this compartment (not all of them, but we would consider them in F4F-4). Actuators on wheel legs are moulded as separate parts. Catapult hook is visible between wheels covers on the bottom of the fuselage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-004.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1580268\" src=\"http:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-004-1024x490.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-004-1024x490.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-004-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-004-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-004-610x292.jpg 610w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-004-1080x517.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-004.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-007.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1580274\" src=\"http:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-007-1024x490.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-007-1024x490.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-007-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-007-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-007-610x292.jpg 610w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-007-1080x517.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-007.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-009.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1580278\" src=\"http:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-009-1024x490.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-009-1024x490.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-009-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-009-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-009-610x292.jpg 610w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-009-1080x517.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/kola-009.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>You may be interested in:<\/h3>\n<p>Models and accessories of the Wildcat in Arma Hobby webstore <a href=\"https:\/\/www.armahobby.com\/category\/aircraft-models-wildcat?hash=4124d1af9a7ea1f5bece2c836dcc1e82\">click<\/a><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"kyrfDTuRTD\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/blog\/2020\/04\/27\/fm-2-wildcat-silnik-modelu\/\">FM-2 Wildcat \u2013 silnik modelu<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8222;FM-2 Wildcat \u2013 silnik modelu&#8221; &#8212; Arma Hobby - blog firmowy\" src=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/blog\/2020\/04\/27\/fm-2-wildcat-silnik-modelu\/embed\/#?secret=MfXMjDpic5#?secret=kyrfDTuRTD\" data-secret=\"kyrfDTuRTD\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"GPxItkAwDb\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/blog\/2020\/04\/17\/fm-2-wildcat-czesci-produkcyjne\/\">FM-2 Wildcat \u2013 cz\u0119\u015bci produkcyjne<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8222;FM-2 Wildcat \u2013 cz\u0119\u015bci produkcyjne&#8221; &#8212; Arma Hobby - blog firmowy\" src=\"https:\/\/armahobbynews.pl\/blog\/2020\/04\/17\/fm-2-wildcat-czesci-produkcyjne\/embed\/#?secret=yl6ACgWToG#?secret=GPxItkAwDb\" data-secret=\"GPxItkAwDb\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today next part of FM-2 Wildcat model details and assembly solutions.
