<strong>T-2 Buckeye "Red &amp; White Trainer" 1/32</strong> <p>Scale plastic kit of Aircraft T-2 Buckeye "Red &amp; White Trainer"</p>

<p>The Britten-Norman BN-2 Islander is a British light utility aircraft and regional airliner that has been in production for more than 55 years. It was developed in 1963 as a simple and inexpensive twin piston engine aircraft that favors payload over range and cruising speed, making suitable for short haul operations. Over 1400 of all types have been built.</p> <p>On 13 June, 1965 the first prototype BN-2 Islander conducted its maiden flight, powered by a pair of Rolls-Royce/Continental IO-360B piston engines. These were later replaced by more powerful Lycoming O-540-E engines, which were located further outboard on the wings for superior single-engine climb performance. 24 April, 1967 saw the first flight of a production Islander. Type certification was received from the UK in August 1967, and by US authorities in December of the same year.</p> <h3>Features</h3> <ul> <li>Ready to assemble plastic model kit.</li> <li>Paints and cement (not included) are needed to complete the model.</li> <li>Side cutters, modeling knife and tweezers are also recommended.</li> <li>Product sold without glue and paint.</li> </ul>
