American heavy multi-role fighter Bell's first aircraft after getting out of the carriage business, the Airacuda was a revolutionary aircraft for the time, let down by a lack of suitably powerful engines and the difficulties of changing priorities and funding in pre-war America. The Airacuda was to be a long-range bomber destroyer, fitted with 37mm cannons that would allow it to shoot down incoming bombers while they were still far from America's shores. This boxing includes decals for the YFM-1 prototype in the markings of the 27th Pursuit Squadron, as exhibited at the 140 New York World's Fair. Includes resin and photo-etched parts.
