1/48 FM-2 U.S. National Insignia (for Eduard)

The "FM-2s" are a specific type of fighter and light bomber aircraft used during World War II. "U.S. national insignia" refers to the distinctive markings and symbols applied to U.S. military aircraft to identify them as belonging to the U.S. armed forces. Let me provide more details on both:

FM-2:

The FM-2s were fighter and light bomber aircraft used by the U.S. Navy during World War II. They were based on the Grumman F4F Wildcat, but were an improved and lighter version.
The FM-2s were known for their maneuverability and were often used to protect naval convoys against enemy air attacks.
They were equipped with armaments such as machine guns and bombs and were used primarily in naval operations.
U.S. National Insignia:

U.S. national insignia refers to the symbols and markings applied to U.S. military aircraft to identify them as belonging to the U.S. military.
These markings often include the "star and bar," which is a five-pointed star (usually blue) within a white circle on a blue or red background. These markings are placed on the wings and fuselage of the aircraft.
The U.S. national insignia were important for avoiding friendly fire and clearly identifying Allied aircraft during combat.
FM-2s were specific aircraft used by the United States during World War II, while the U.S. national insignia are the symbols visible on U.S. military aircraft used to identify them as belonging to the U.S. military. These symbols are an important aspect of identification and communication during military air operations.
