Trumpeter 02833 Grumman F9F-2P Panther 1:48 scale plastic model kit  [TP02833]

Trumpeter F9F-2P Panther - compact 1:48 kit

This 1:48 scale plastic model recreates the Grumman F9F-2P Panther, offered as a display-focused build for modelers interested in early carrier jet types.

The Panther was Grumman's first production jet fighter and served as the US Navy's second operational jet. It made its initial flight in 1947; early examples ran the Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet produced under license as the Pratt & Whitney J42. Wingtip fuel tanks were added to improve carrier range. The F9F-2P was an unarmed photographic reconnaissance variant employed in the Korean War for aerial photography and reconnaissance duties.

As a subject, the Panther illustrates straight-wing early-jet carrier design and distinct tip tanks. The kit data provides assembled footprint and part counts to help build planning. Expected modelling steps include careful subassembly, seam finishing and paintwork to reach a museum-quality presentation.

This 1:48 Panther kit offers a clear parts list and compact assembled dimensions, making it well suited to display builds and study models.
