Hasegawa 242 1/72 F9F-2 Panther (U.S. Navy Fighter)

Model Kit

Grumman’s F9F-2 Panther was one of the U.S. Navy’s very first carrier-based jet fighters and earned its place in history during the Korean War as a rugged, reliable workhorse. Flying ground attack missions, close support, and escort duties, the Panther became famous for its sleek design and dependable performance in combat.

This detailed 1/72 scale kit from Hasegawa faithfully reproduces the lines and features of the Panther, giving modelers the opportunity to build a tribute to one of naval aviation’s most important transitional aircraft—from prop-driven fighters to the jet-powered age. A must-have for fans of early Cold War history and classic U.S. Navy aviation.
