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.

the british flew them on and off carriers if i am not mistaken long before the americans.

They had to show them how to do it
