Model Airplane Factory offers handmade USMC F7F Tigercat wood model airplane fighter, artistically created by our gifted artists. After passing through several stages of sanding and priming, our talented artists paint and detail the Grumman F7F Tigercat fighter model with historically correct markings of the F7F Tigercat Marines. The process starts from carving the fuselage and the intakes on the fuselage sides to the Marines F7F Tigercat cruciform tail design, to the assembly and final polishing of the USMC F7F Tigercat fighter plane. The rich color paint scheme and markings of the Grumman F7F Tigercat are cautiously painted to the assembled Grumman F7F Tigercat wood model plane. The F7F Tigercat Marines fighter plane will be painted according to the specific color scheme of the Grumman F7F Tigercat for their historical significance and authenticity. After carving the wood, the Marines F7F Tigercat model aircraft will undergo stages of fine sanding, between primer coats, to produce a silky smooth finish ready for final painting. Every part and detail of the Tigercat F7F Marines fighter model wooden aircraft is given equal attention to retain the actual specification of the F7F Tigercat Marines.


Therefore, the initial production series was only used from land bases by the USMC, as night fighters with APS-6 radar. At first, they were single-seater F7F-1N aircraft, but after the 34th production aircraft, a second seat for a radar operator was added; these planes were designated F7F-2N.

F7F Tigercat Marines is a made-to-order model. Production & Delivery time for a Made To Order model is approximately 12-14 weeks.
