Shawn - I bet you hate the F-80 and F-84 also - right?

Yep !! Very few of the early blow torches get me excited. But I will admit to going easy on the F-80. Can't stand the F-86 Dog Sabre either, that big ugly nose.

I'll back you up on that one, buddy!



Probably Ted William's right?

I would love to have his personal mount F9F for sure!

Shawn, they probably wouldn't have looked so bad if they hadn't painted the noses black.........

A Grumman F9F Panther. All schemed out in the livery of VF-112...... or a USMC version would be nice and a 1: 48 scale model would do it justice.

Hawk has posted (Nov 1) an illustration of the livery on his web-site.
