Model Airplane Factory offers you this elegant Grumman XF5F Skyrocket wooden aircraft fighter made by our master craftsmen. The rich color paint scheme and markings of the XF5F Skyrocket are cautiously painted to the assembled Grumman Skyrocket model. The details of the XF5F Skyrocket such as the insignia, logos, body number, and squadron are carefully and artistically painted in the Grumman XF5F Skyrocket plane fighter model for precision. The process starts from carving the fuselage and the intakes on the fuselage sides to the Grumman Skyrocket cruciform tail design, to the assembly and final polishing of the XF5F Skyrocket fighter wooden airplane. After passing through several stages of sanding and priming, our talented artists paint and detail the Grumman XF5F Skyrocket plane fighter wood with historically correct markings of the Sky Rocket XF5F. Multiple coats of clear lacquer is applied in Grumman XF5F Skyrocket fighter wood to protect the exquisite artwork and provide an overall glossy finish. This Grumman XF5F Skyrocket model wood aircraft fighter made of mahogany comes with a metal stand and wooden base.


The Grumman XF5F Skyrocket was a prototype of a twin-engine shipboard fighter interceptor to which Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation applied the model number G-34. It was a radical advance in shipboard fighters at the time when single engine fighters were just changing to monoplane designs from bi-planes. The U.S. Navy ordered one prototype airplane on June 30, 1938 with the designation XF5F-1.

The aircraft possessed a unique appearance in that the forward part of the fuselage didn’t extend forward of the wing. Provisions were included in the prototype for two 23 mm Madsen cannons.
