Naval Aviation GB - F9F-2 Panther ++FINISHED++

Post by Deacon »

I know I am making the Swordfish, but I wanted to make a start on this too.

This is the 1:72 Hobby Boss kit

Thanks guys.

Things aren't going well with the Swordfish and this kit is a dream.

I've got some paint on it now, but no photos yet.

Most of the paint is on, so hopefully the decals will be on either today or tomorrow.
