1/72 R72-020 Pro Resin Curtiss XF-87 Black Hawk
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Very highly detailed resin model that features beautifully cast high-definition resin parts, detailed interior, PE parts and full decals. Never started and the parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes decals and instructions. The Curtiss-Wright XF-87 Blackhawk (previously designated the XP-87) was a prototype American all-weather jet fighter-interceptor, and the company's last aircraft project. Designed as a replacement for the World War II–era propeller-driven P-61 Black Widow night/interceptor aircraft, the XF-87 lost in government procurement competition to the Northrop F-89 Scorpion. The loss of the contract was fatal to the company; the Curtiss-Wright Corporation closed down its aviation division, selling its assets to North American Aviation.
