Awesome paints, Bruce. Just one question. Can you see a good bit of the fuselage, wings, and tail from inside the VC?

Absolutely Brilliant :USA-flag:watch the movie last night 'Toko-ri' , the deck handling of the Panther and one clever trick having a attachable connected to the nose gear to help direct the plane to the catapult via deck personal steering . :salute:

The paints are not mine so therefore cannot take credit where credit is due.

wow....amazing......will there be an option for underwing fuel tanks?

not at the moment, going through the books, it was rare for underwing tanks to be carried, but always an option i'll throw it back up the line.

If you look over your shoulder you can see the wings and tip tanks, but the tail is obscured by the seat and rear bulkhead.

Beautiful ! :applause:

Nitpick ( well... ) : since the pilot is fully modeled ( nice touch ! :cool:) P1-4 helmets with visor were used by the USAF *not* by the Navy/Marines. The latter used H-4 helmets with integrated U.S.N. Goggles and (often) a boom mike during the Panther/Cougar era:

If you need more photos, i have lots. ( I collect these things. Not so much the photos ( be it that too) but the real thing :cool: )

Pilot is too small ...

http://ww1.prweb.com/prfiles/2010/08/18/2886324/justkidding.jpg

Seriously - wonderful progress to date - long awaited. Nice that the photo recce versions are being modeled - I can't quite tell from the shots if you've got the -2p or the -5P - I'm just happy there is a recce plane in the works.

Concur with Bruce - the only Panther I've ever seen photographed with underwing tanks is of a Revel scale model kit. This was discussed greatly at length back in the FS2002/4 days regarding the otherwise exemplary (for its time) Aeroplane Heaven model. Some work was done by some folks here with alpha channels to attempt doing away with the tanks that they modelled on theirs.

Looking forward to the great work - looks fantastic!

They are the F9F-5 and 5P.

The only 2 phots I have come across and reading through the pilots manual tanks carried on the 2 inboard pylons was on the 5P which had the pylons specially modified to carry the 150 gallon tanks, and only 36 5P's were built by Grumman.

Ian, if you can find one, it ain't gonna be cheap! When the USN changed the ejection seat system from the ESCAPAC to NACES, I could have possibly gotten one then, but didn't think about it. Now they are expensive as all heck. Probably around $1500, and that would be the low range.

And believe me, they are NOT comfortable! Nice conversation piece though! Have always wanted a Martin-Baker seat from a USN F-4.

Ok,this latter one is sold but if you keep checking out this site or eBay ( and there are more ) you might be able to pick up something for a reasonable price. I stumbled over many ejection seats for sale, it's usually the shipping cost that spoils it ( for me that is.. ) Nah, i'll stick to helmets, O2 masks, goggles and such.. :cost1:

hehe, I own a Martin Baker GQ7a (F104G Starfighter, german version) that is displayed on the website you mentioned:

http://www.ejectionsite.com/gq7aseat.htm

I used it as home office / flight simming chair for many years and it was very comfy to sit in (and boy, you sat _in style_ in it hehe).
When we moved house my spouse "talked" me into lending it to an air force museum here for a permanent display :-(
I love this seat and admire the brutal technical design of it.

Cheers,
Mark
