Trumpeter 02247 F8F-1 Bearcat 小號手  [TP02247]

The F8F Bearcat ended up being the very last of Grumman's piston-engine carrier-based fighters. Two XF8F-1 prototypes had been purchased in November 1943, as well as the firstly these was flown on 21 August 1944. Grumman decided once again to work with the most powerful motor offered at the time, the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp -- similar engine which had driven both their Hellcat and Tigercat designs. This time around, the motor had been fitted to the smallest, lightest airframe that may be built. This triggered a highly maneuverable, quick airplane with a rate of climb 30% higher than the Hellcat.
