Overview of the 1:350 F2A Fighter Kit

The Trumpeter 1:350 F2A Fighter kit offers concentrated detail ideal for shelf display and group dioramas. It suits modellers who prefer small-scale naval aircraft with period-correct markings.

Model History and Collectors Interest

The Brewster F2A Buffalo represents an early step in carrier fighter evolution for the United States Navy. This kit appeals to collectors wanting a tangible example of that era and its designs.

Parts, Assembly and Finish

There are 54 plastic parts arranged on six sprues, yielding a finished model approximately 22.94 mm long and 30.49 mm wide. The included US Navy decals help replicate authentic squadron markings for display.

The kit is aimed at hobbyists with basic modelling experience; the small parts require steady hands but the assembly steps are logical and well suited to intermediate builders.
Using a thin primer coat helps paint adhere and reveals any surface imperfections to be filled or sanded before the final colours are applied.
After the decals have set, use a clear gloss or satin varnish to seal them in place and reduce the risk of lifting during handling or display.
