This is a U.S. Navy Grumman F7F-2N tested with an aerial torpedo at the end of the war. The tests went well but the Navy soon phased out aerial torpedos. The kit is 1/72 from Monogram with second cockpit and torpedo added. I couldn't get a good shot of the torpedo without the flashback from the table.

I love that kit. Takes a lot of weight to make it sit on its tricycle landing gear though.

Great job on another "different" subject. Love your stuff man.

Ever seen the drone control version of that plane?

I've been eyeing this kit myself...
