Highly detailed 1/48 scale assembly model kit of the Brewster F2A-2 Model B-339 Buffalo, a variant of the Brewster Model 139 single-engine monoplane fighter aircraft. Originally developed in the late 1930's, the Brewster F2A Model 139 became the first monoplane fighter aircraft used by the U.S. Navy (Navy designation F2A). The Brewster Buffalo was considered outdated by the outbreak of the Second World War, and the type suffered considerable casualties when matched-up against more advanced fighter aircrafts such as the Japanese Zero. A number of the Brewster F2A-2 Model B-339 aircrafts were exported to Britain and the Netherlands for used by the British Royal Air Force and the Netherlands East Indies Army Air Corps to protect colonial outposts in Singapore, Malaya and Burma. This 1/48 scale assembly model kit of the Brewster Buffalo by Tamiya features: Authentically reproduced large fuselage and unique landing gear. Kit includes parts to accurately reproduce RAF, ML-KNIL or U.S. Navy aircraft. New parts such as canopy, rear fuselage and propeller authentically reproduced in high-quality detail. Includes a full range of accessories including two 100 pound bombs, one pilot figure sitting down and one figure standing, and markings to reproduce a choice of four different aircraft. Overall length: 163mm, wing span: 223mm.
