Tomcats Panther: 1/48th Trumpeter F9F-2 Panther
This 1/48th Trumpeter F9F-2 Panther is a good kit that will get you a nice display model, straight out of the box, without much hassle. I also bought one of the Hobbycraft kits and built it up as the photo-recon variant of the Panther in US Navy markings.
You can see more in-depth details of both these builds with additional photos at: https://www.flypastrush.com/post/photo-post-1-48th-trumpeter-f9f-2-panther

Thanks for looking & good luck on your next build.
Good looking Panther! I have the Trumpeter in my stash, I’m going to have to move that one up in the building order!
Thanks David, Good luck with your build. Not sure how I got the wings folded as much as I did (as TC pointed out they should only be at 75-80 degrees)
Both look awesome!
Thanks again Spiros
A nice pair of Panthers, @flypastrush
Thanks John, (@johnb) I had fun building these two Panthers
The world needs a HB or Trump Cougar! Another kit is the F1-11 Tiger in 1/48 (the FM is for masochists!). All will make great company fot Panthers around the world!
Good Point Michiel, A Cougar & a Tiger would be a nice addition for this (Cat) era
Very nice!
Thanks again Greg
