1/72 Hobby Boss F9F-2 Panther Argentinean Naval Base aeronaval Punta Indio 1960

This kit comes with 2 options, US Navy (Midnight Blue), I don't think I have ever seen many of these other than this colour, so I chose the Argentinean version. 

I put a big crack in the canopy while removing it from the sprue with a razor saw, (canopy is also very thin), but rather than throwing the kit to the back of the stash, or buying another kit to get a canopy (I don't see the point), I continued the build, I can live with it sitting in the display cabinet with the crack.

I like that!  It's nice to see a Panther in something other than Navy blue.  Thanks for sharing that.Yes

Grant, this Panther of yours is just too cool. I really dig the markings! Great paint job too!
