Armaments: Four 20mm cannon, four .50 caliber machine guns
"The Grumman F7F Tigercat was the first twin-engined fighter aircraft design to enter service with the United States Navy. Designed for the new Midway class aircraft carriers, the aircraft were too large to operate from earlier decks. Although delivered to United States Marine Corps combat units before the end of World War II, the aircraft did not see combat service in that war. Most F7Fs ended up in land-based service, as attack aircraft or night fighters; only the later F7F-4N was certified for carrier service. They saw service in the Korean war, and were withdrawn from service in 1954."

Correction it did fight in the end of WWII but like the P-61 it did not have many targets to engage, since the reason it did not make much of an impact on the out come of the war.

Personally, I would love to see one in XD or 32x, or best yet both scales...If my memory serves me well (a very iffy proposition), there is one of these in the USMC museum at Quantico...I visited there back in the '90s, it's a super cool place to check out if you got a little time to kill...I hope it's still open to the public...

Yeah, the Tigercat would make a splendid subject for an XD model, but take a look at the second set of pics you posted, the ones from warbirds, see how small the pilot and ground crewman look compared to the aircraft?? The T-Cat is a BIG airplane, almost as big as WWII medium bomber, it would be a HUGE 1/18th scale model, and I think that fact is what dooms it for any consideration as a future project from 21C or any other manufacturer. Oh well, there is no harm in dreaming I suppose, nice pics too.I would love to see one made in 1:18 scale
