The F2A Buffalo belongs to the first generation of American single-engine carrier-based fighters.

Assembling a plastic kit improves quality with careful preparation of the parts, precise gluing, and light sanding of the seam lines if necessary. Applying a primer before painting helps achieve a uniform finish. Decals can be applied to a glossy surface, then protected with a varnish suited to the desired finish.
