Academy 12326 1/48 USN F3F-2 VF-6 "Fighting Six"
Overview
The Grumman F3F-2 “Fighting Six” 1:48 Scale Model Kit from Academy recreates one of the final biplane fighters used by the U.S. Navy before the transition to modern monoplane aircraft. Known for its distinctive stubby fuselage and rugged performance, the F3F-2 served as a frontline carrier-based fighter in the late 1930s and played an important role in bridging the gap between early aviation and the advanced aircraft of the Second World War.
Often remembered as the U.S. Navy’s last operational biplane fighter, the F3F-2 was eventually replaced by more advanced designs, but remained a key training and transitional aircraft during the early years of the war. This detailed 1:48 scale kit captures the unique look and character of this historic aircraft.
