Starfighter Decals 1/48 F2A Buffalos

By Matt Bittner

Starfighter continues their foray into 1/48 with this sheet – 48-003 – for either the Tamiya or Special Hobby F2A.  The sheet has markings for the following aircraft:

• F2A-1, BuNo 1393, VF-3, USS Saratoga, 1940
• F2A-1, BuNo 1387, VF-3, 1939 World's Fair
• F2A-2, BuNo unk, VS-201, USS Long Island, 1941
• F2A-3, BuNo unk, VF-2, USS Lexington, Late 1941

As with all of their larger-than-1/144 decal sets, these are printed by Cartograf and I could find no registration problems and the decals are very nicely printed.  There are enough decals to finish three models.  If you're looking for alternate markings for your 1/48 Buffalo then you need to pick up this decal set.

Thanks again to Starfighter Decals for the review set.
