About the Design

2005's "Stealth" was a major box-office disappointment.  But it did provide fans with an amazing new swing-wing aircraft, the FA-37 "Talon."  With moveable forward-swept wings reminiscent of the much-rumored "Switchblade" fighter, the FA-37 fighter/bomber/interceptor was supposed to have a top speed of Mach 4.0 as well as the most advanced radar-evading technology in the American arsenal.  Its range was purported to be 4,000 nautical miles.

About the Kit

Released in October 2009, the FA-37 Talon kit was produced exclusively for Fantastic Plastic Models by Anigrand Craftswork of Hong Kong.  The kit include interior linkage that allowed the forward-swept swing wings to move in tandem.  It also came with large, medium and small canards that allowed by modeler to build either the Talon 1, Talon 2 or Talon 3 variations.
