F9F-3

Description

Grumman's F9F"Black Panther" the company's first jet fighter and the second jet aircraft of the US Navy. It first flew in 1947. It is powered by a Pratt Whitney J42 engine, which is a licensed production model of Rolls-Royce's "Nien" turbojet engine. Because the fuel consumption of jet aircraft is relatively large, only relying on the fuel tanks in the wings and fuselage cannot obtain the required range, so auxiliary fuel tanks are added at the wingtips.

F9F-3: Equipped with Alisson’s J33 engine model, as the option of J42 engine failure, a total of 54 were produced, and later all were replaced with J42 engines

The kit consists of 90+ parts, 5 clear parts
