Re: new 1/48 F2A'S?

AML is releasing a series of F2A's. Have a look at their website at
www.aml.cz The Buffaloes are under News.

Note that the one shown are a B-239, an F2A-1 and an F-2A-3, versions not
made by Tamiya. Tamiya's is an F2A-2/B-339.

I have some 1/72ns scale kits from AML. They are short run, and in my
opinion not of the quality of the better short run manufacturers such as
MPM, Special Hobby etc.

For a "modeler with moderate skills" I would wait and see. It is possible,
depending on the break down of the AML kits, to cross kit, i.e. get an F2A-1
or -3 by using the AML fuselage and the rest from Tamiya. This may be an
easier route than cutting up the Tamiya fuselage and using resin conversion.
