Two XF8F-1 prototypes were ordered in November 1943, and the first of these was flown on 21 August 1944. Grumman decided once again to utilize the most powerful engine available at the time, the Pratt \u0026amp; Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp -- the same engine that had powered both their Hellcat and Tigercat designs. This time, the engine was fitted to the smallest, lightest airframe that could be built. This resulted in a highly manoeuvrable, fast aeroplane with a rate of climb 30% greater than the Hellcat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eScale: 1:72\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItem Type: Plastic Model Aircraft Kit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModel Dimension: 2 sprues, fuselage, wing and engine cowling\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTotal Plastic Parts: 20+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTotal Sprues: Length: 118mm  Wingspan: 150mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased Date: 2021-10\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore Features: The kit consists of over 20 parts, includes 1 clear part \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-06-13T19:47:22+02:00","created_at":"2023-06-13T19:47:23+02:00","vendor":"Hobby Boss","type":"Scale Model Kits","tags":["Brand_Hobby Boss","Category_Aircraft","Scale_1\/72 Scale","Type_Propeller Aircraft"],"price":34995,"price_min":34995,"price_max":34995,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44632063082747,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"6939319272683","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Hobby Boss - 1\/72 F8F-1B Bearcat (87268)","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":34995,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Hobby-Boss---1-72-F8F-1B-Bearcat--87268.jpg?v=1686678443"],"featured_image":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Hobby-Boss---1-72-F8F-1B-Bearcat--87268.jpg?v=1686678443","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":32915974979835,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.506,"height":680,"width":1024,"src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Hobby-Boss---1-72-F8F-1B-Bearcat--87268.jpg?v=1686678443"},"aspect_ratio":1.506,"height":680,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/cdn\/shop\/products\/Hobby-Boss---1-72-F8F-1B-Bearcat--87268.jpg?v=1686678443","width":1024}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch1\u003e1\/72 F8F-1B Bearcat\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHobby Boss 87268\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcludes all \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/collections\/plastic-kit-model-glues\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eglues\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/collections\/paints\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003epaints\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jixhobbies.co.za\/collections\/tools-desk-top-storage\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003etools\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e necessary to assemble.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe F8F Bearcat was the last of Grumman's piston-engine carrier-based fighters.
