Developed to fulfill the role of a point-defense interceptor, the XF-92 was built for purely experimental purposes. Only one was built and is now on display at Wright-Patterson AFB.
The Marx version was designed for inclusion in playsets and wasn't marketed as the XF-92.

I like the missile release buttons protruding through the wings! That's real play value!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I love the way you've photographed the toy with it's munitions fanned out in front of it, like a real plane!
DeleteThanx Lewis! I've seen a number of photos of real airplanes that used that little gimmick so thought I'd try it!
DeleteAnother great looking toy, based on an almost forgotten aircraft. Thanks for all the great photographs.
ReplyDeleteThanx Paul! I've been awful busy with my own blog and facebook, but I'll send Woodsy some more airplane eye candy this week.
DeleteJust beautiful, ah those old toys really bring it all back...
