Surprisingly, Falcon Models has become one of our most important brands, offering hyper-realistic aviation subjects at reasonable prices. We were therefore thrilled to take delivery of their latest tooling – a Grumman F-11 Tiger jet (#FA728001). Used sparingly during the Cold War, the Tiger is nevertheless an important addition to anyone’s military aircraft collection, demonstrating the transition from the so-called Century Series range of military aircraft to the world of modern era jets we see today.

Falcon’s Tiger Finds its Way Out of the Jungle

Falcon Models Goes Supersonic
In a surprise announcement, Falcon Models plans to offer a 1:72 scale replica of the Grumman F-11 Tiger (#FA728001). Seeing service for only four years because its performance was inferior to the Vought F-8 Crusader and its J65 engine proved unreliable, this carrier-borne aircraft was nevertheless an important fleet defense fighter, since it was the US Navy’s first supersonic fighter jet. Likely follow-on candidates for replication will be a US Navy Blue Angels aerobatic aircraft, as well as a F-11F-1 Super Tiger, which were fitted with a more robust pair of engines.
