Grumman F3F-1, 0236

Popis produktu

Kovový model lietadla.

Produced in the mid to late 1930s the F3F-1 as well as the 2 and 3 variants belonged to what
probably was the most colorful era in US military aviation history. Grumman took all the lessons
learned from the F2F and incorporated them into the F3F. The Flying Barrel, as it was commonly
called, had a wide fuselage to accommodate the large radial engine spinning a three-bladed
Hamilton Standard propeller. The plane also had improved retractable landing gear, longer
fuselage that improved stability. The last F3F was retired by the USN in November 1943.
