1/48 US Navy F3F-2

This is a 1/48 Grumman F3F-2 Plastic Model Kit from Accurate Miniatures. It's a classic late 1930's Marine Bi-Plane Fighter, suitable for intermediate modelers ages 10 and up.

The Grumman F3F-2 was a refinement of the earlier F3F-1 and incorporated a much more powerful Wright Cyclone engine and other subtle changes. This engine turned the already agile fighter into a real "hot rod." When the U.S. Navy retired the last F3F in late 1941, the final biplane front line fighter became a major piece of Naval Aviation history. Safe to say, more than a few legendary Navy aces learned their craft in the cockpit of this nimble little fighter.
