A lot of 1As had their arrestor gear and wing folding mechanism removed to save weight because she largely wasn't considered carrier-acceptable yet. Maybe this was deliberate?

However if they ARE modeling a land-based 1A I wish they'd remove the arrestor gear and the weight for both it and the folding wings.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
