Dennis_C Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Marvellous!!! F9F-8T is the only thing that can make me happier!
ShadowRaider Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 Fantastic! Dear Sword guys, please do a F9F-8T twin-seater too! (the resin conversion set made by RVHP is crude, thick, expensive and long out of production)
KRK4m Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 And the F9F-6, please. Converting the Hase F9F-8 into -6 needs skilled surgeon.
cvrle Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 Sword strikes again! I love their subject choices
The Good Sergeant Posted January 24, 2015 Posted January 24, 2015 I've always found it odd when a new kit is referenced on a shop's web site but not on the manufacturer's own site. Excited nonetheless! Steven Brown Scale Model Soup

azzaob Posted March 4, 2015 Posted March 4, 2015 Parts break down look very similar to the old Hasegawa F9F-8, bar the F9F-8P version nose, nice to see another under-kitted aircraft get released.
Gene K Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Parts break down look very similar to the old Hasegawa F9F-8,.... Pretty much love the Hasegawa kit - except for the cockpit. Will be interesting to see how the Hasegawa nose fits the Sword kit - or if it's even worthwhile. Gene K
Learstang Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Definitely one to add to my like to get list. Regards, Jason
Charles Dykas Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Pretty much love the Hasegawa kit - except for the cockpit. Will be interesting to see how the Hasegawa nose fits the Sword kit - or if it's even worthwhile. Gene K Just what I was thinking, the Hasagawa kit, despite its age looks like a better mold. This looks like a nose job. Does anyone do a Cougar interior?
