It has been my desire to build an F9F-6 or 7 (they are the same except the power plants). The problem is there are no -6 or -7 kits available; so I ordered a -8 and cut, sanded, added lots of Milliput with Plastic Perfect Putty, painted, and started the process over and over. I am attempting to put some of that process together.

At this point after one or two more cycles I hope to be able to say that the hack is complete and I can finish the project as an F9F-6 or7!
