Ryan FR-1 Fireball and XF2R-1 Dark Shark 6mm 1/285

The only models of the Ryan FR-1 Fireball and XF2R-1 Dark Shark in 6 mm scale. The Fireball was the U.S. Navy's first jet aircraft. It had a piston engine in the nose and a turbine engine in the rear of the fuselage. Only 71 were built, but orders for over a thousand were cancelled on at the end of the war. FRs might make an interesting addition to a gaming scenario in which the Pacific War lasted another year. The Dark Shark was similar but with a turboprop replacing the piston engine.
