Build #2 - F9F-5KD Panther 'On Deck'

Second build for this campaign is now going to be the RoG re-tool & reissue of the original Monogram 1:48 F9F-2 Panther. I'll be building almost straight from the box including the excellent decals, the only extra being a Pavla resin seat.

I started with a couple of pics on the 'on the bench today' thread a day or so ago, totally forgetting that it qualifies for this Campaign... :facepalm

OK on with the photos - not going to bother with captions as they are all self-explanatory.

I remember building this one. Nice pit. The logo really annoyed me when I did mine. I mean this was unheard of at the time this kit came out. So what scheme are you doing?

I built this kit a few yrs ago that I have had for a long time. It too was sold as a -5 out of the box. Great job!! Gary
