1/72 F7F-3, F-3K Tigercat
Fly Model 1/72 F7F-3, F-3K Tigercat is a detailed plastic kit of an American twin-engine fighter aircraft that The fighter was introduced into service at the end of World War II and was used extensively in the post-war period. The F7F-3 variant is an improved combat version with more powerful armament and wider deployment options, while the rebuilt F-3K version served as an unmanned training target during tests of new weaponry in the 1950s. The F-3-3 was used as a training vehicle for the F-3K in the 1950s. The 1/72 scale model allows you to build both forms of this interesting machine and is an attractive choice for anyone interested in the lesser-known chapters of US aviation history.
The Grumman F7F Tigercat twin-engine fighter was one of the most powerful types operated by the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps in the postwar years. The F7F-3 version was an improved variant with enhanced armament, better flight characteristics, and the ability to carry a wide range of bombs and missiles. It was deployed primarily with US Marine Corps units, where it proved its worth in both attack and fighter missions.
A special chapter was the F-3K variant, which was converted into a remotely piloted unmanned aircraft used as a target trainer in tests of new weaponry. These machines played an important role in the 1950s in air defence training and the development of modern missile systems.
The 1/72 scale Fly Model kit offers the possibility to build both the classic combat version of the F7F-3 and the unique F-3K target drone. The detailed surfaces and authentic decals make it an ideal addition for anyone looking to expand their collection with lesser known but historically interesting Tigercat variants.
The package does not include the paint or adhesives needed for assembly.
