1:72 Scale F8F Bearcat

The Grumman F8F Bearcat was a late-WWII carrier-based fighter designed to be the ultimate piston-engine dogfighter. Powered by a Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp engine, it was incredibly fast, lightweight, and had one of the best climb rates of any propeller-driven aircraft ever built. Though it arrived too late to see combat in WWII, the Bearcat was built for raw performance—designed to outperform everything in the sky with tight turns, blistering speed, and rapid acceleration. It was so quick off the line that it could beat early jets in a short drag race. In many ways, it was the last and finest evolution of the piston-engine fighter before the jet age took over.

You can build in in about a minute, just use caution removing supports and let the small parts cool before removing from plate to prevent warping. Parts should stay in place without glue, but for a more secure and permanent fit you can use some.
