Here is my recently
finished Monogram F9F-5P recon panther. All in All this was a good kit, only a
little sanding and filling was required. I painted the model with MM Dark Sea
Blue and Aluminum plate metalizer. A coat of Future was then applied and decals
were put on. The decals were the worst part of the kit, they are very thick and
do not conform well at all. Weathering was kept to a minimum because I like the
shiny look on this one. What weathering I did do consisted of a light gray
water color wash to accent panel lines (though it probably doesn't show well in
the pictures) some paint chips here and there and some leaks and streaks done
with artist oils.
