I never bought the Airfix model as it was a series 2 pricing, the Matchbox version was in their purple range which made it more affordable for the same plane, and the moulding was better for the time.

recently built it and its a good little kit. only real drawbacks I had was with the blue decals on the wings and by the tail for the US markings didn't adhere to some areas as well as normal due to sharp angles it has to go over.

Wings as a single unit which is attached to bottom of fuselage is how the real deal's wings went on. The real wing center section was less lengthy fore and aft, and the pilot seat was attached to a bulkhead/former in the fuselage, but the real wings did go on as one piece. For reference see several photos in Steve Ginter and Righard S. Dann's Brewster F2A Buffalo book published by Ginter Books.

I build it when was first release, for those days was a nice kit, naturally the lack of details in the interior and the undercarriage show its age. Pity that there aren't Finnish decals in the kit, given the success it had in that campaign.

It tells you all you need to know that the loser went on to become a legend, while people who remember this thing tend to shudder. The option is a US Navy collimator gunsight - Commonwealth aircraft were fitted with a reflector gunsight inside the cockpit.
