The ancestor of this breed was a prototype of the twin-engine Navy fighter aircraft XF5F-1, which was never mass-produced but provided the company Grumman with valuable experience for further development. The aircraft, which were to be launched from land bases, were intended to protect the US Marine Corps. The Grumman F7F 3 is a twin-engine, single-seat fighter aircraft made of all-metal construction with folding outer wing sections for storage on aircraft carriers and retractable tricycle landing gear. The propulsion units were two P&W R 2800 34W engines with a power output of 1566 kW. The armament consisted of 4 12.7 mm machine guns in the nose and 4 20 mm cannons in the wings. At sea level, the aircraft reached a maximum speed of 681 km/h and at an altitude of 6,675 m, 719 km/h. Today, the last remaining aircraft are used by antique aircraft enthusiasts at various air shows. Some short-range aircraft, after being sold by the US Marine Corps, were equipped with large tanks in the fuselage and are still used today for firefighting.

The Tigercat model is designed for propulsion with brushless electric motors actro-n 28-3-1300 and a 3S LiPo battery. With this equipment, the flight behavior of the Tigercat is realistic, and the silhouette appears impressive in flight. Take-offs and landings are trouble-free. The model can also perform simple aerobatic maneuvers.

The model is constructed using a mixed design. The fuselage and engine nacelles are made of fiberglass laminate, while the wing and horizontal stabilizer are constructed from balsa wood. The overall structure is complemented by vacuum-formed plastic parts, a transparent cabin canopy, cockpit, engine nacelles, and dummy radial engines. The flight batteries are inserted thru the removable cockpit canopy. Since the real Tigercats were painted with glossy lacquers. can be used to cover the wings with iron-on film. The model is controlled via ailerons, elevator, and throttle.

The model kit includes: Detailed assembly instructions and plans, fiberglass fuselage, fiberglass engine nacelles, partially finished wing and horizontal stabilizer in balsa wood construction, vacuum-formed parts such as clear cabin canopy, engine cowls, dummy radial engines, cockpit, plywood cut parts, small parts, and decal sheet.
