Image Comments Creosotewind 29-May-09 17:13 Starting a custom built Grumman F9f 2/3 in 3/4", or 1/16 scale, similar to the old Cleveland Master models. James, could you make a category for that? Creosotewind 29-May-09 17:33 This started last year with a request from Poppy. He spotted, in one of my build photos, a Cleveland Flight Engineered Grumman Panther. He asked if I would make a copy of the printwood and instructions. In reviewing the kit, knowing how much detail I like, and how Poppy builds, I realized the Cleveland kit was a bit lacking in dimensional fidelity. I decided to make my own version. First step was to gather as much reference material as possible. These books are a great start. I spent a lot of time on the internet, searching for "Grumman Panther", "F9F", "Panther Walkaround", etc. Anything I could think that would lead me to detailed photos and images of what I consider one of the most beautiful jets ever designed. The Pima Air Museum in Tucson also has an F9F-4, so I took a few trips down there to gather reference photos and to eat great Mexican food.
