The Boeing XF8B (Model 400) was a single-engine aircraft developed by Boeing during World War II to provide the United States Navy with a long-range shipboard fighter aircraft. The XF8B was intended for operation against the Japanese home islands from aircraft carriers outside the range of Japanese land-based aircraft. Designed for various roles including interceptor, long-range escort fighter, dive-bomber, and torpedo bomber, the final design embodied a number of innovative features in order to accomplish the various roles. Despite its formidable capabilities, the XF8B-1 never entered series production.

However, I decided to make my own version of the aircraft that has several upgrades, such as an improved engine, new landing gear, a different cockpit, and different pylon locations. This is by far one of my most advanced builds and I hope you find it fun to fly and are able to do something with it.
