Reini78 Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 #22/2022 My dad continues with the Latin American subjects. Hobbycraft edition of the HC/Trumpeter co-developed F9F-2 kit. For the wingtip lightnings and air-intake warning decals my dad used some from a Printscale sheet, had to cut them apart to make them fit. Walkways are painted. PE seatbelts from Eduard, painted with Tamiya XF-2 Flat White and Gunze H51 Light Gull Gray. Wing fences done with plastic sheet, ejection seat handles with lead wire. The Argentinean Panthers were retro-fitted with the re-enforced sliding canopies of later types. Painted the outer canopy frame enforcement with a white marker and did the middle strut with a masking tape. My dad accidentally scratched off somehow parts of the left nose number, covered it up with parts from other number decals. The front canopy was no good fit. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235114012-navy-revolt148-grumman-f9f-2b-panther-comando-de-la-aviación-naval-argentina/ In 1958, Argentina recieved 24 Panthers from the US. They saw some combat action alongside Corsairs and Texans during the Argentinean Navy revolt in April 1963, when they defended their base against army and airforce. Two Panthers were lost due to a mid-air collision or AA fire, depending which conflict side you ask.

Andrés S. Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I am very happy to see a good model in well-made photos. There is nothing more frustrating and sad than trying to see the good work done on a kit by looking at some lousy photos. Fortunately this is not the case because the magnificent photographs allow us to perfectly see the great work done. Congratulations !!!
