Tim Mee Toys Cold War Jet Fighters set includes two jets from the early Cold War era.
The first one is this F11 US Navy fighter plane.
The F11 Tiger was in service with the US Navy from 1956 to 1966.
They were the Navys second super sonic fighter plane, and carried four 20mm cannons.
This toy jet has only four parts, three wheels and the rest of the plane.
The real jet was almost 50 feet long and the model scales out to a hair over 1/72nd scale.
The model is a bit underpowered! The plastic is very durable and the light gray works great for Navy planes.
The size of the jet works well with 1/72nd scale figures. The model comes with stickers that I did not apply.
Looks like I may have to start collecting Navy Cold War jets. Thanks Tim Mee for the review sample.

Had a feeling it was a Grumman Tiger.
The Blue Angels used to fly them before they got the F4s.
The F-11 was a supersonic jet, but it didn't see that long a service life.
Nice acquisition (and you DO need an engine...lol).
Carry on.
It's a stealth engine, you can't see it.
