Revell 04848 F-89 D/J SCORPION (1/72)

The plastic model kit Revell 04848 F-89 D/J SCORPION in 1:72 scale is a precisely detailed replica of the legendary American Air Force interceptor fighters from the Cold War era. This kit features two variants of the famous jet: the F-89D, equipped with a powerful battery of unguided rockets, and the F-89J, adapted to carry AIR-2 Genie nuclear-tipped missiles. The F-89 Scorpion was mainly operated by the United States, forming the backbone of the USAF air defense systems between 1951 and 1969. It became especially renowned as the first mass-produced jet interceptor to carry both guided and unguided armament, serving during the Cold War and its hottest periods such as the Cuban Crisis.
