Special Hobby SH32010 1/32 US Brewster F2A-2 Buffalo "Yellow Wings"

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

Special Hobby has released the F2A-2 Buffalo in 1/32 scale, this is the first time the Buffalo has been produced in this scale in styrene.

The parts are molded in light gray styrene and feature very nicely executed surface detailing. All of the panel lines, etc., are scribed. The kit is presented on eight parts trees, plus a single tree with the various clear parts.

The kit includes a small bag of resin parts containing the engine rear accessory pack, exhaust manifolds, and a number of other small details.

A fret of photo-etched parts round out this kit that provide some great detailing in the cockpit and underwing bomb racks. An acetate instrument sheet fits behind the photo-etched panel adding further realism in detail.

The cockpit captures the look of the open floor that allows the pilot to see through the ventral window. Several canopy options are present on the clear parts, but these options are used on the export versions of the Buffalo.
