1/48 Grumman F7F-3 Tigercat

This is a plastic model kit, which comes unassembled and unpainted. So glue, model paints and other basic modelling tools are additionally required.

A combination of four 20mm cannons and four .50 calibre machine guns gave the Tigercat high takedown power and substantial ground attack capability. Unfortunately, it was also heavy and difficult to handle on the small flattops of WWII. Its carrier handling problems relegated it to land bases and its late arrival meant it only saw combat service in the Korean War. Additionally, the obsession with new, jet engine aircraft soon saw Tigercat production halted. Kit features decals for six versions.
