The T-2 Buckeye was the primary training aircraft for the United States Navy. It was designed by North American Aviation and was in use from the late 1950s until 2008. The aircraft mainly served as a jet trainer for carrier-based fighter pilots, operating from the largest US Navy aircraft carriers. For several decades, practically every US Navy pilot trained on the Buckeye.

The Special Hobby 32037 model features:

• Highly detailed fuselage and wing surfaces.
• Realistic cockpit reproduction, with accurate instrument panels and seats.
• The set includes decals for creating the characteristic "Red & White Trainer" livery used by US Navy training squadrons.
• Additional clear plastic parts (canopy), detailed landing gear, and weapons consistent with the trainer version.

Considering the level of complexity and the number of small parts, this model has a difficulty level of 4/5. It is recommended for experienced modelers who wish to build an impressive replica of an aircraft with extraordinary importance in the history of US military aviation.

We recommend Special Hobby 32037 both to collectors of American aviation models and to enthusiasts of training aircraft. Once assembled, this model makes an impressive display and serves as an excellent base for further enhancement and detailing.
