Why this kit matters
The OS2U KingFisher was a US Navy observation floatplane used during the Second World War for reconnaissance, artillery spotting, and air sea rescue. It operated from battleships and cruisers using catapult launches, giving fleets vital air support far from shore.
KingFishers played a key role in saving downed aircrew across the Pacific and Atlantic theatres. Its rugged design and stable handling made it one of the most trusted naval support aircraft of its era, earning a lasting place in aviation history.
