Grumman F9F-8 (F-9J) Cougar This US Navy fighter develops from the Panther; the application of a swept wing and a more powerful engine was made to bridge the lacuna in performance with the latest Russian fighters. Developed too late to participate in the Korean conflict, the Cougar was however constructed in a significant number of airframes, almost 2000. The F9F-8 variant was later equipped with Sidewinder missiles and ridesignated as F-9J in 1962 ; the Cougar remained in service until 1974 as advanced trainer with the TF-9J designation. After the Panther, the Cougar has equipped the Blue Angels team from 1954 to 1957. Model 1:100 scale printed at 1:285 with 0.4mm nozzle and 0.08 mm layers. Printed as shown in the image. ciao Erik
