I want to build this kit in flight. It's pretty simple but the cockpit detail is decent with some carefull painting.

This kit is not designed for a in flight build. I added this Airfix 1/72 pilot form the Martlet mk.4 kit. It looks pretty decent from a distance. It will be enough.
I needed to cut some material near the hips a leg to get him to fit the seat. But the cockpit itself has a lot of space so he can keep his legs and feet for ones.

I primed the cockpit tub with black and painted it dark green. The raised detail is very decent. This make the painting very fun. This kit has no decals for the cockpit. I also fixed the pilot to the seat.

I modified the landing gear covers to make it possible to close them for the in flight look. Not much is needed and the fit is decent. I used styrine sheet for the modifications.

Even though the detail is pretty simple I'm happy with the result.

Album info

I really like the look of the F9F Panther and wanted to make a in flight diorama like I did with the BF-109e and f-16.
I bit of scratch building is needed to make this kit wheels-up.
- Added a Airfix pilot form the Martlet kit.
- The landing gear covers are modified to be closed.
- Added detail to the gun sight.
- Added detail behind the cockpit.

F9F-3 wheels up.
