The kit has been developed in the popular and detailed 1:32 scale, depicting the first carrier-based Brewster F2A-1 Buffalo fighter in US Navy service. This model allows you to recreate the historical details of the aircraft that opened a new chapter in American aviation history, as the first monoplane fighter regularly used on US Navy aircraft carriers.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    The F2A-1 Buffalo entered operational service around 1939-1940. It was notable for its innovative design at the time—a fully metal low-wing monoplane with retractable landing gear and an enclosed cockpit. The USA was both the main and first user of the F2A-1 version, and these aircraft were used, among others, by VF-3 squadrons aboard the USS \u003ci\u003eSaratoga\u003c\/i\u003e. Although the Buffalo was quickly replaced by more advanced fighters, its presence played an important role in the early stages of World War II in the Pacific.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eModel scale: 1\/32\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCountry of use: United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePeriod of use: World War II (introduced into service in 1939-1940)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMaterial: precisely manufactured high-quality plastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eUnique cockpit details, landing gear, and external weathering traces consistent with historical documentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncluded in the kit: richly decorated decals, clear plastic parts, photo-etched parts for detailed finishing of the interior and external details\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCategory: plastic model kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRecommended modeling glue and paints available separately\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    We recommend the Special Hobby F2A-1 Buffalo \"The first in US service\" both to intermediate and experienced modelers.
