Late examples of the F9F Panther, most examples of the F9F Cougar, F11F Tiger, A-6 Intruder, C-1 Trader, E-1 Tracer, S-2 Tracker, E-2 Hawkeye, F-14 Tomcat. Oh, and there's the C-2 Greyhound, but that would technically be white over gull gray. Edit: doh! you did say without a prop 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I would like to participate in this please. Not sure what yet but it will be a post war jet. I have a few Tomcats and the F9F-8 Cougar and F9F -2 Panther in 1/48 so will go with one of those. Enzo if you are going to do a F9F-6 Cougar check out the Detail and Scale ebook as there is a conversion article in there for 1/72. I started one but is on the back burner.

theplasticsurgeon Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) I bought another Grumman product at Avon model show, that has not been mentioned previously on the thread, but I'm keen to start it. Italeri EF-111A, for which Grumman did all the conversion work. I've also got decals for the prototype making it even more a Grumman aircraft. Is this one acceptable?

Hockeyboy76 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 @TEMPESTMK5 Can I join with an F14 Egg plane Tomcat? @Wez I was lucky enough to mange only one trip “down south” during my 22years, I was always under the impression that with my uncle fighting “during the war” I should be exempt. Almost got away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
