The Grumman F3F-2 is an American fighter aircraft from the interwar period, used by the US Navy and US Marine Corps. It was the last biplane fighter serving on United States aircraft carriers before the era of monoplanes such as the F4F Wildcat. The F3F-2 participated in numerous exercises and demonstrated its combat capabilities during intense US Navy maneuvers from 1937 to 1941. The aircraft was still used at the beginning of World War II, mainly for training purposes.

The Eduard FE1304 set includes precisely crafted photo-etched parts, such as photo-etched seatbelts for the pilot's seat, instrument panel details, piping, and intricate cockpit details that significantly enhance the authenticity of the ACADEMY model. They allow the modeller to faithfully reproduce the complex interior sections of the F3F-2, which are not found in standard plastic releases. This set allows experienced modellers to achieve exceptional realism and authenticity.

This product is especially recommended for more advanced aviation modelling enthusiasts (difficulty level 3/5) who expect the highest quality and realism of finish. Dedicated to modelers who already have some experience with photo-etched parts, which require precise assembly and the use of dedicated tools.
