About product

1:72 F9F-2B Panther of an American training unit, the year 1956

A finished collector model in 1:72 scale. It is not a kit: it is supplied assembled, painted and with the markings applied, so nothing needs doing with it and it goes straight into the display case. The model carries the markings of a machine of a US Navy training unit from 1956, that is, from the time when combat aircraft of the previous generation were moving into the training role.

The real subject

The Panther was the first successful carrier-based jet fighter of the US Navy, with a straight wing and a single turbojet. Once their combat career is over, proven machines are usually passed to training units, where they serve to convert pilots onto jet equipment. That is where most Panthers ended their service, and their training finishes with striking stripes are among the most eye-catching the type ever wore.

How a collector model differs from a kit

A kit gives the modeler freedom: the colors, the markings and the degree of wear are his own choice and the result is one of a kind. A finished model, by contrast, offers the certainty of an exactly specified version, a uniform look across the whole collection and the immediate option of standing it in a display case. Collections of finished models therefore grow in series, where one machine complements the next.

How to keep the model

  • Display it out of direct sunlight, which fades the colors over time
  • Remove dust with a soft brush, not with a cloth, which abrades the markings
  • Hold the model by the fuselage, not by the wings and the tail surfaces
  • Leave it room in the display case so that neighboring pieces do not touch
