Special Hobby SH48098 1/48 US F2A-3 Buffalo "US Navy Trainer"
Discontinued
This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.
After the fiasco at Midway US Buffaloes were withdrawn from frontline units to the mainland USA and used for training. Eventually they were intensively used and these roles suit them. Even though that harsh handling of student pilots decreased the number of machines, new Navy pilots fly them even in 1944. The training Buffaloes were equipped with gun cameras for training shooting and color recognition to break the uniformity of Navy camouflages.
The kit contains three sprues with grey plastic parts, injected clear parts, resin and photo-etched parts.
