It was the first US warplane to exceed 400 mph in level flight. The plane featured an unusual inverted gull wing to keep the undercarriage short while allowing the use of the large diameter propeller demanded by the powerful engine.

These amazingly detailed DIY models start as 4” square steel 3D models. Simply snip out the pieces and bend the tabs through corresponding connection points. Easy to follow instruction included. Tweezers or small needle nose pliers are suggested to facilitate assembly.
