About product

The Panther with a choice of hood position, 1:72

Clear cockpit glazing for the Grumman F9F Panther carrier fighter in 1:72 scale. The qualifier in the name refers to the fact that the part is adapted for two different arrangements on the model: with the sliding section drawn forward, or slid back over the fuselage spine.

The Panther off the carriers in Korea

The Grumman F9F Panther was a straight-wing single-seat fighter that became the mainstay of US Navy and Marine Corps aviation in the early 1950s. Besides air combat it flew a large share of its sorties against ground targets; it carried bombs and unguided rockets, and its rugged structure took hits from anti-aircraft fire. For modelers it is also of interest because in civilian life it was flown by a writer and pilot whose books went on to make the Korean War widely known.

When you want the cockpit open

Dividing the canopy into the fixed and the sliding section is best done with a fine saw or by drawing a scribing tool repeatedly along a marked line. The cut is then trued with a file and the edges are sanded so that they do not show up white. Bond the slid-back section with PVA glue for clear parts, which dries without haze and allows a small correction of position.

For what kinds of builds

  • models with the hood slid back and a pilot figure
  • scenes on a carrier deck
  • builds focused on the Korean War
  • a replacement for the glazing of older kits

The delivery covers only the clear part of the cockpit; you will not find the aircraft itself or paints in it.

The name says only that the part is adapted for both positions. The exact contents of the package are not stated here.

PVA glue for clear parts has proved itself. Super glue can fog a clear surface.

Yes, this item is aimed only at the straight-wing Panther, while the other variant also mentions the follow-on Cougar.
