About product

Hasegawa 1:72 F9F-2 Panther

An injection-molded plastic kit in 1:72 scale from the Japanese brand Hasegawa. It captures the Grumman F9F-2 Panther carrier-based jet fighter with its straight wings. The package contains plastic sprues, a clear cockpit part and a decal sheet; the exact range of markings depends on the particular release.

The real subject

The Grumman F9F Panther was the first production success among the carrier-based jet fighters of the US Navy. It was deployed during the Korean War, where it served in both fighter and attack roles. It was powered by a jet engine derived from the British Rolls-Royce Nene and built under license. The straight wing carried tip tanks, which became a recognizable feature of the type. The Panther also flew with the Blue Angels display team.

Building and painting tips

Glue the joints with liquid cement for plastic and use a primer before painting. The characteristic navy blue goes on well from an airbrush in fine coats. The panel lines come out after a darker wash is applied. Paint the clear canopy last and mask the frames beforehand.

Who the model is for

  • For anyone interested in the beginnings of carrier-based jet aviation
  • For collectors of Korean War aircraft
  • For modelers with experience in the smaller scale

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
