The ARMY AIR FORCES RECOGNITION ID MODEL of the OS2U-1 Kingfisher, dated July 1943, is a rare and remarkable piece of WWII history. This 1/72nd scale model, produced by Cruver, was originally issued for training purposes to help military personnel identify aircraft during the war.

The Kingfisher model is notable for its fine condition-free of the usual warping, melting, or unpleasant odors that sometimes affect items of this vintage. It retains all original components, including the floats and brackets, which are often missing from most surviving examples. The underside of the model is stamped with "USN OS2U-1" and "7.43, " clearly marking its naval designation and production date of July 1943.

The OS2U Kingfisher itself was a U. Navy observation floatplane, highly valued for its versatility and its role in scouting, air-sea rescue missions, and artillery spotting. As one of the harder-to-find aircraft recognition models, especially in this level of preservation, this item is highly sought after by collectors. The model's authenticity, combined with its excellent overall condition, makes it a valuable and desirable piece of military memorabilia, perfect for those with a keen interest in World War II aviation history.
