VMF-221 was formed in July 1941 at San Diego, California. In December 1941 the unit was moved to Hawaii, Ewa MCAS. On December 25th , 1941, 14 F2A-3's of VMF-221 took off from the "Saratoga" CV-3 to land on Midway Island. Originaly formed part of the relief force for Wake Island. A replica of one of those Buffalo F2A-3 fighters flown by Capt. William C. Humberd with the VMF-211 during the Battle of Midway in 1942, this model features textured surfaces, a detailed cockpit with a glazed canopy, authentic markings, and more. 5¾" wingspan; includes a display stand that identifies the plane and pilot. Brewster F2A Buffalo Designed to meet a 1936 US Navy requirement for a new carrier-based fighter, the F2A was first flown in December, 1937. The stout F2A Buffalo was the U.S. Navy's first monoplane fighter, but it suffered from poor maneuverability and proved to be too heavy for dogfighting. Its four 12.7mm machine guns weren't even enough to save this aircraft—during the Battle of Midway, 13 of 19 Buffalos were lost to enemy fire. Finland proved to be the only successful user of the Brewster F2A Buffalo, fighting off wave after wave of Soviet aggression during three years of war. Winning a competition against the Grumman F4F Wildcat in 1939, the Brewster Buffalo F2A-3 became the U.S. Navy's first monoplane fighter aircraft and saw limited service during the early years of World War II. Features: Diecast metal construction with very few plastic components. Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details. Pad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals. Detailed engine, intake, & exhaust. Detailed rigging & simulated fabric coverings (where applicable). Presentation stand to display the aircraft "in flight". Accurately detailed underside. Authentic markings & paint-schemes.
