Grumman F9F-2 Panther – Part Two – Tubby Little Devil

The cockpit assembly of the Panther has just been completed and I must say it’s pretty nice for a $ 20 model. 5-piece, and some fine moulding on the sidewalls and instrument panel. And for a change the panel decal actually fit the piece.

 

Micro-Sol doesn’t hurt either.

The interior of the fuselage is actually helpful, with accurate locating rails for the cockpit and the undercarriage well. I always try them dry these days since the first of the Czech kits proved to be so difficult. Hobby Boss are a breeze. That’s half a Brown Bess musket ball hammered into a conical shape for the nose. No props needed at the back on this one…
