About the Grumman F9F-2 Panther

The Grumman F9F-2 Panther was the U.S. Navy's first successful carrier-based jet fighter, serving with distinction during the Korean War. Introduced in 1949, the F9F-2 featured straight wings, a single Pratt & Whitney J42 turbojet engine, and four 20mm cannons. The Panther proved highly effective in both air-to-air combat and ground attack roles, with future astronauts Neil Armstrong and John Glenn among its pilots. The F9F-2's rugged construction and excellent handling characteristics made it ideal for carrier operations, and it remained in frontline service throughout the Korean conflict. The Panther's sleek lines and combat record make it a favorite subject for early jet age and Korean War aviation enthusiasts.

What's Included

Eduard's CX series masks are precision-cut from thin, flexible vinyl that conforms perfectly to complex canopy curves and wheel hubs. The set typically includes canopy frame masks for both interior and exterior surfaces, wheel hub masks, and any additional glazed areas. The self-adhesive backing ensures secure placement without residue, while the material's flexibility allows it to follow compound curves without lifting or leaking paint.
