Review: A Tale of Two Cougars – Kitty Hawk 1/48 F9F-8 Cougar
By the time Grumman’s F9F-2 Panther was entering fleet service in 1949, the advantages of swept wings had already been proven by the North American F-86 Sabre which had flown in prototype form within months of the XF9F-2. The big [...]
1/48 FM F9F-8 Cougar converted to F9F-8P
I bought a 1/48 FM (Fonderie Miniature) Cougar years ago in my pursuit of building one of each of the Blue Angels display aircraft in 1/48. In time I learned that it was essentially a Monogram 1/48 Panther kit that had been modified [...]
Collect-Aire 1/48 F9F-8
So, years ago I invested in a Collect-Aire 1/48 F9F-8... At the time, the only 1/48 kits around of the F9F-8 were the Lodella/Revell kit (1/50) and the FM kit. I actually got both (then sold the Lodella/Revell), but later I learned about [...]
Hasegawa 1/72 F9F-8 Cougar
Hi all,
Years ago, I carefully sought out 1/72 kits of all the Blue Angels Display aircraft, which led to also looking for 1/72 transport aircraft, then I went on to 1/48...you get the idea. Well, in my focus of getting the 1/72 kits, I [...]

Trumpeter 1/48 F9F-2
I had all kinds of trouble with the fit of this kit...probably self-inflicted. This is not my best build. There are all kinds of mistakes on it. I used the Pavla cockpit and nose gear well. The cockpit opening is too small and that [...]
Meng 1:35 US Cougar 6×6 MRAP
My 5th model from Meng (and 6th from the start of my modeling journey). The work was a pleasure (quality!).
TF-9J Cougar VA-43 NAS Oceana VA. 1965-67,Year of the,Cat,group build
This year of the cat build is Swords 1/72 TF-9J Twogar. A bit of a challenge to build[for me] no locating pins, kind of soft plastic, ill fitting in some places, the kit decals tended to curl when you go to place them. I used krylon flat [...]
