It is almost a 1-1 replica too, AND IT FLIES!!!! this bad boy is a well-known carrier capable fighter, that made it's way into the inventory of the United States military on December 28th, 1942. After the Navy fixed the carrier flaws so most of these puppies wouldn't face-plant (literally) onto the deck of the carrier, it became the best carrier capable fighter of the war. It was then used in the Korean War as a fighter- bomber, and was officially (and finally) retired in 1979, in Honduras, which I visited whilst on a cruise which was awesome! BTW don't go to Honduras if you have a fear of bugs, because it houses the world's largest insect, the Weta (or yeta, whatever).

    @General360 thanks! it's basically a 1-1 replica, mainly because of the engine, it is almost the exact same thing as the real deal, except the fact that the real thing has 153" propellers, instead of 150" propellers. and amazingly the real life thing has 2000 horse power, so that was easy to replicate lol
