The engine detail is exceptional, seamlessly integrated behind the rotating propeller. This model is available in twelve distinct paint schemes and ten diverse formats. The carrier-based Tigercat played a significant role in World War II as one of the fastest Navy fighter planes. It served not only the United States but also Australia during WWII and Korea before being replaced by next-generation jet-powered night fighters in the mid to late 1950s. The aircraft was used by both the US Marine Corps and included a radar-equipped version with a rear seat for the Radar Intercept Officer (RIO).
