P-26A Peashooter Scale Models
First flown in 1932, the P-26 had the honor of being America's first all-metal fighter plane. It also had the distinction of being the U.S. Army Air Corps' first pursuit monoplane. The "A" variant was powered by a 600 hp (450 kW) Pratt and Whitney® R-1340-27 engine. The P-26 was the fastest front-line fighter around, until the U.S.A.A.C. replaced it with the Seversky P-35 and Curtiss P-36 in 1938. |

F2A-2 Buffalo - the U.S. Navy's first monoplane fighter - operated by the U.S. Navy's VF-2 stationed aboard the USS Lexington (CV-2) during the early stages of World War II. The Brewster Buffalo, a pre-war U.S. Navy fighter, was used very effectively by the Finnish Air Force in its battles with the Soviets. Here we see top Finnish ace, Eino Juutilainen, who attained 33 of his incredible 94 victories in a Buffalo. Winning a competition against the Grumman F4F Wildcat in 1939, the Brewster F2A Buffalo became the U.S. Navy's first monoplane fighter aircraft and saw limited service during the early years of World War II. |

The Seversky P-35 was a fighter aircraft built in the United States by the Seversky Aircraft Company in the late 1930's. The P-35 was the first single-seat fighter in U.S. Army Air Corps to feature all-metal construction, retractable landing gear and an enclosed cockpit. The first production P-35 was delivered to the USAAC in May 1937. |

SBD Dauntless airplane models here Introduced by the U.S. military in 1940, the SBD Dauntless naval scout plane and dive bomber flew to great success during the Second World War and was arguably unmatched by similar aircraft developed by the Axis Forces. The Douglas SBD Dauntless proved to be a deadly threat against the Japanese enemy in the Pacific Theater of World War II, especially during the Battle of Midway, where she sank four aircraft carriers. Serving as the U.S. Navy's primary carrier-flown scout plane and dive bomber from 1940-1944, the Douglas SBD Dauntless is perhaps best remembered for helping to destroy Japanese aircraft carriers at the Battle of Midway in June 1942. |

It served on battleships and cruisers of the US Navy, with the United States Marine Corps in Marine Scouting Squadron Three (VMS-3), with the United States Coast Guard at coastal air stations, at sea with the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy, and with the Soviet Navy. The Royal Australian Air Force also operated a few Kingfishers from shore bases. |

P-40 Warhawks Models here
also called the Flying Tiger and the Tiger Shark Although lacking somewhat in maneuverability and rate of climb, the P-40s top speed of 352 mph, coupled with its rugged construction, armor plating and fast diving speed, enabled it to hold its own against most of the fighter planes in existence at that time
