[H-10] 1/72 F7U-3 Cutlass "VF-124/D"

Experience the distinctive profile of the Vought F7U-3 Cutlass, a groundbreaking aircraft that pushed the boundaries of naval aviation design. This 1/72 scale model kit from Fujimi meticulously captures the radical, tailless swept-wing fighter-bomber, known for its futuristic appearance and role as America's first production fighter designed with afterburners.

The F7U-3 Cutlass, an improved variant with more powerful engines, served with the United States Navy in the early 1950s. This particular kit represents an aircraft from VF-124/D, a squadron assigned to fleet readiness evaluation and one of the first operational F7U-3 fleet squadrons. The Cutlass was a formidable presence, capable of carrying four 20mm cannons, an attachable rocket pack, and various external stores including bombs and early air-to-air missiles.
