The Brazilian Naval Aviation (Aviação Naval Brasileira) is the air arm of the Brazilian Navy operating from ships including the aircraft carrier São Paulo and from shore installations.

Hasegawa decals and Model Master paints were used. The Hasegawa model requires adding a significant amount of weight in the nose cone to prevent the plane from tipping up.
