This is Aurora's 1955 [4th release] Grumman F9F Panther in ~1/48 scale.  It is kit number 22A-79 and was the 2nd release of the Panther manufactured at Aurora's West Hempstead, LI plant.  

 This kit IS COMPLETE...PLEASE IGNORE THE SEALED PARTS BAG----YOUR KIT HAS "LOOSE" PARTS....INVENTORIED 100% COMPLETE!!! 

 Also:

  • The Tatem Co.decals are the 2nd iteration and differ from those of the Brooklyn kits;  I am also including reproductions of decals from a later edition since it includes a triangular base decal.
  • The rectangular base is the " West Hempstead base--not the Brooklyn base. 
  • Instructions are shown.

  Each of the five box cover faces are shown.  If you would like to see higher res jpegs just ask!

Note that there is some litho separation at the right end panel.  This separation is very clean---and, if you have some tweezers and some great smelling rubber cement this is an EASY fix!!!
