Nice shots!
That reminds me, I looked at my inventory the other day and found I had four of those old Lindbergh 1/48 scale F11C-2 kits. Not sure how that happened. Price must have been irresistible - but four times?
The BF2C did not last long in USN service. They tried a new innovation, a fabric covered AL wing structure, and it proved to be subject to rapid vibration-related fatigue. The export models used wood wings and lasted longer.
