Academy 12326 - 1/48 USN F3F-2 VF-6 Fighting Six Model Kit - Naval Fighter Replica  [AC-12326]

Model Summary and Historical Background

The Academy 1/48 USN F3F-2 VF-6 Fighting Six model kit renders a historically important Navy biplane in miniature, with engraved panel lines and parts that reflect the original aircraft form. It appeals to modellers who like to combine research with hands-on work.

Period Accuracy and Structural Details

The F3F-2 served as the last biplane fighter in US Navy service and is characterised by its radial engine and distinctive undercarriage. The kit is designed to represent those elements so the finished model reads as an authentic prewar fighter.

Construction Considerations and Finish Options

At 1/48 scale the build offers clear parts separation for painting and weathering practice. The included VF-6 decal set allows for an accurate squadron finish, and the completed model makes a solid display subject.
