Revell 1/72 F-89 D/J Scorpion 04848
The F-89D/J Scorpion was the first two-seat all weather interceptor in
the USAF and the most heavily armed fighter aircraft of all time. In
1950 some of the F89D series underwent extensive modification. A
combined fuel-pod/missile launcher mounted on the wing-tips could hold
1165 litre's of fuel and carry 52 FFAR Rockets. The next large series
was the F-89J. It could carry 4 Falcon Guided Missiles with Infra-Red
Homing Heads as well as 2 Genie Guided Missiles each with a 1.5 kiloton
nuclear warhead for use against enemy bomber formations.
Glue and paints are required to assemble and complete the model (not included)
