Brewster Model B-239 1/48 Die Cast Model, Eino Ilmari Juutilainen, 3/LeLv 24, Suulajarvi, 1942

In 1939, the U.S. diverted to Finland 55 Brewster F2A-1 Buffalos, which, with four .50 inch machine guns and an export-approved engine, were designated Brewster Model B-239. Replicating the famous Model B-239 in which Finnish Air Force 94-victory ace Eino Ilmari "Illu" Juutilainen - the top non-German ace in history - recorded 28 victories against the Soviets during the Winter War (1939-40) and the Continuation War (1941-44), this limited edition, 1/48 scale, die cast Hobby Master model has it all!

You get a detailed cockpit with instruments, flight controls, a ventral window, a sliding canopy, and a removable pilot figure; a movable rudder and retractable landing gear with free-rolling wheels; an authentic paint scheme with 3rd Flight, Lentolaivue 24 (Fighter Squadron 24), markings and blue swastika roundels (used by the Finnish Air Force from 1918-45) on the wings and fuselage; and more. 8¾" wingspan; includes a display stand.

Limited to 1,000 units!
