87267 1/72 F8F-1 Bearcat
The F8F Bearcat was the last of the U.S. series of piston-engine carrier-based fighters. Two XF8F-1 prototypes were ordered in
November 1943, and the first of these was flown on 21 August 1944. It was decided once again to utilize the most powerful engine available at the time, the same engine that had powered
both their Hellcat and Tigercat designs. This time, the engine was fitted to
the smallest, lightest airframe that could be built. This resulted in a highly
maneuverable, fast airplane with a rate of climb 30% greater than the Hellcat.
