centuryfan Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hello, I'm currently researching my new model project which will be Hasegawa's 1/72nd scale F9F-2 Panther in Argentinian colors. Here's the decal sheet I'm going to use. I already found some useful external shots of Argentinian Panthers that helped me to determine the wheel bay color - white. This corresponds also with some in-service photos that I found in an Argentinian publication. However, I'm not yet sure about the cockpit color of the Argentinian Panthers. Somewhere I read that after March 1954 the Panther cockpit color changed from green to dark gull gray. And the ejection seats of Argentinian F9Fs seem to have been gray and not green according to the few color photos I have. Does anyone have some more insight? All the best Bernd Korte Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ernesto Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Searching the archives, reference colors were for the Light Grey Gull Gray (FS 36 440) and for blank Insignia White (FS 17 875). I recommend the book Nuñez Padin as a reference source .- http://kalkin.foros.ws/t4482/f9f-2-armada-argentina/ http://kalkin.foros.ws/t7554/panther-argentino-148/ http://f9fp.blogspot.com/ http://aeronavesendetalle-2.blogspot.com/2...ther-3-111.html http://aeronavesendetalle.blogspot.com/200...ther-3-118.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 That is interesting. Did not know Argentina had the Panthers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
