Very nice build Dan. One of my favorite early Navy Jets. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks everybody.

I cut the wings and added the rear speed brakes deflected, and of course, put the pilot’s step down! This was a fun build and the nice thing was I didnt have to use any aftermarket parts on it.

Outstanding job, Dan! It may have been fun, but looking at it makes me think it was a lot of work. Obviously you gave it a lot of time and effort. Thanks for sharing.

The Hasegawa kit is an F9F-2. Holden was “flying” the F9F-5, slightly longer, bigger tail…
