This sheet is a continuation of our collaborative effort Detail & Scale.  This sheet was designed using the incredible reference resources of Bert Kinzey; one of the world’s premier aviation authors and enthusiasts.  Our sheets are designed to compliment Detail & Scale’s new line of digital reference books covering the F3H Demon & the F9F-8 Cougar.   (F/D&S-4804) “Colorful Gray & White Cougars” includes options for seven F9F-8 single seat Cougars and three F9F-8P Photo Reconnaissance Cougars  in the handsome  Gull Gray over White scheme.   This set is designed for use with the 1/48 Kittyhawk  kit, and enough stenciling & data is provided for the modeler to build two complete models.  Here’s a rundown of the aircraft covered: VA-46,  F9F-8 141217, USS RANDOLPH , 1957 VF-144,  F9F-8 144301, USS HORNET, 1957 VA-26,  F9F-8 144339, USS KEARSARGE, 1957 VF-123,  F9F-8 144353, NAS EL CENTRO, 1956 VA-36,  F9F-8 141177, USS FRANKLIN D.
