Grumman F9F-8 Cougar™ Limited Edition Large Mahogany Model
The Navy had avoided implementing a swept-wing fighter, worried that it wouldn’t perform well at lower speeds. But when lightning fast MiG-15 appeared in the skies over North Korea in 1950, the U.S. quickly realized it needed a faster fighter, and that meant swept wings. The Grumman F9F Cougar was the swept wing version of the F9F Panther. It entered the war too late, though, and never saw combat. But it became a valuable trainer.
This exquisite Grumman F9F-8 Cougar Mahogany Model is handcrafted by our master craftsmen from the finest Mahogany Wood. Attention is given to every detail, resulting in unsurpassed quality. Models come complete with a detachable wood display stand. The model will be delivered to your door securely in a foam fitted shipping box.
