The cockpit includes full instrumentation, accurate pilot seat, clear windshield, visible control levers, and a detailed dashboard.
Armament consists of 7.62 mm Browning machine guns, light bombs, and optional components for display or operational configurations.
High-quality decals provide the authentic VF-6 “Fighting Six” markings, featuring the vibrant pre-war U.S. Navy colors.
A model that embodies the transition between eras, combining historic charm, technical precision, and the timeless beauty of the naval aviation golden age.
