But you have to keep in mind that they may not be 100% accurate. I found three different sources having three slightly different shapes for the various sections. |

Creosotewind | Scratch Built Grumman F9F Panther | Parked | 29-May-09 17:39 | | Views : 829 | The kit that started me on this trail. The Flight Engineering kits all have a wing span of 30". For this kit, that works out to just over 1/15 scale. The printwood and the instructions have a copyright of 1948, which means the kit is based on one of the prototypes. There are minor changes to the production planes. I wanted to capture one of them. |
