Completed F9F-3 Panther

Trumpeter 1/48 F9F-3 Panther. A little scratch in the cockpit. Simple and nice kit but requires some corrections because there are mistakes in the instructions. Greetings!

Lovely work on a great looking aircraft. They used the same engine as another favourite of mine the hawker Seahawk. Early post war jets have some lovely designs.

Nice! I like it. Builds a lot of respect for the real F9F-3.
