A F9F-2 Panther would look great next to the A-1

Not very pretty, but it's a yes needless to say!!

And you should consider putting up a picture of this one. I would say more would know what they were voting on!!

Moth: First operational Naval jet fighter. Had the mid mounted wings with odd triangular shaped inlets. Also had the distinctive t-tail. (Not high t-tail like your DC-9 series)

Looks nice, I love the shape of the wings blending into the tail.

Panther YES Cougar NO

Just in case: the Cougar was the swept wing version/variant of the Panther...

Nice plane but I don't think they'd sell all that well. It just wasn't around that long.

Yes, I vote a resounding YES! for the F9F Panther:

The Couger was a great aircraft, too, but the Panther was the one that saw much combat action in Korea.

Bridges at Toko-rei is a great movie for Panther watching

I think this A/C should be revisited since the debut of Hobby Master’s F-9 in 1/48 scale came out.

Well why not, & while we're wishing for stuff we'll probably never see, how about the Panther's brother in arms, the F2H Banshee...that would be an ultra-kewl combo...so get me outta bed when the Skyraider is released, and I'll update my wish list then... :) PS Moth, glad you're back, where you been...?

It would be OK. I really would like almost any early jet in 1:18

I vote no.

I'd rather have a MiG-17. But that's just me.

I think a Cougar, or a Panther in 1:18 would be absolutely beautiful. Maybe in Ted William's livery? If anyone wants to see more of the F9F Panther, the movie "The Bridges of Toko-Ri" is a great source. I would definitely buy one of these, and a few more to make up for any "Naysayers...." :D
