Description

This is an injection-plastic aircraft model kit.

A very nice-looking, all-new tool of the P-75A Eagle, apparently the first time this aircraft has been available in an injected kit. The Eagle was designed to meet a 1942 requirement for a new interceptor for the US Army. The powerplant was a pair of Alison V-12s connected to a common gearbox and mounted in the middle of the fuselage. The P-75A was the planned production version with all-new airframe parts, unlike the cobbled-together XP-75 prototypes (Valom kit 72024). The type carried ten .50 caliber machine guns, three in each wing and four clustered around the nose and firing through the contrarotating propeller. In the end, however, the Army decided not to buy the type, and only a few prototypes and five production examples were built. Markings are for s/n 444550. Includes resin and photo-etched detail parts.
