Model Airplane Factory offers you this elegant Navy F7U Cutlass model airplane made by our gifted artists. The details of the Vought Cutlass such as the insignia, logos, body number, and squadron are carefully and artistically painted in the Navy F7U Cutlass display model airplane wood for precision. The process starts from carving the fuselage and the intakes on the fuselage sides to the Vought Cutlass cruciform tail design, to the assembly and final polishing of the Vought F7U Cutlass model wooden. After passing through several stages of sanding and priming, our talented artists paint and detail the Navy F7U Cutlass display wooden model airplane with historically correct markings of the Navy F7U Cutlass. Every Vought F7U Cutlass plane display model is a work of art. The Vought Cutlass aircraft model wood display is supplied with a mahogany base for display.


The Vought F7U Cutlass (Vought V-346A Cutlass) was a United States Navy carrier-based jet fighter and fighter-bomber of the early Cold War. It was a highly unusual, semi-tailless design, based on aerodynamic data captured from the German Arado company at the end of World War II. Three prototypes were ordered in 1946, with the first example flying on September 29 1948, piloted by a Robert Baker. Production orders were placed for the F7U-1 in a specification very close to the prototypes, and F7U-2 and F7U-3 versions with more powerful engines. Because of development problems with the powerplant, however, the F7U-2 would never be built, while the F7U-3 would incorporate many refinements suggested by tests of the -1. The first 16 F7U-3 had non-afterburning Allison J35-29 engines. The -3 with its Westinghouse J46-WE-8B turbojets would eventually become the definitive production version, with 288 aircraft equipping 13 US Navy and Marine squadrons. Further development stopped once the F8U Crusader flew.

F7U Cutlass is a made-to-order model. Production & Delivery time for a Made To Order model is approximately 12-14 weeks.
