The Salmson 2A2 was a two-seat reconnaissance and bomber aircraft that entered service in 1917. This French design was widely used by the Allies, including the United States Army (USAS), which operated over five hundred of these aircraft in the final months of the war. Salmson 2A2s participated in, among others, the Battle of Chateau-Thierry and the Marne Offensive. They were distinguished by their reliability, distinctive engine cooling system, and solid wooden and fabric construction.

The Wingnut Wings 32059 model is a faithful replica of the original in 1/32 scale, featuring authentic cockpit details, wing surfaces, and landing gear. The kit does not include glue or paints, but offers a rich selection of decals replicating authentic USAS markings. Modeling experience and a basic workshop are recommended – we rate the difficulty level at 4/5 due to the numerous small parts and details requiring precise assembly.

We highly recommend this model to both intermediate and advanced aircraft modelers who value top quality, excellent historical accuracy, and the opportunity to create a unique collector's exhibit. Wingnut Wings 32059 Salmson 2A2 USAS is also a great base for customization and for building a diorama commemorating World War I aviation.
