New-Tool Cougar On The Way

¹⁄48

Tuesday, October 01, 2013 - 04:39 AM UTC

Glen Coleman has sent us a sneak peek view of a new project from Kitty Hawk - a 1:48 Grumman F-9 Cougar.

The test model shown is an TF-9J two-seat trainer and, on the basis of Kitty Hawk's previous kits, we can be pretty confident there'll be a range of variants produced including single-seaters.

It's clearly early days yet, so watch this space for more news as the kit progresses towards release.

Please remember, when contacting retailers or manufacturers, to mention that you saw their products highlighted here - on AEROSCALE.

Got to have one of these, I have a FM Cougar sitting in the stash but they can be a 'challenge' to build.

It looks like the nose is a little too blunt. Hopefully it's early enough to correct it.

You've got a good eye Jessie. There's an F-9 in an air museum near my home and I've visited it quite a bit. The couger is one of my favorite displays and the nose has a much longer taper than the kit shows.

Going by the drawing in the picture, the nose looks both longer and more inflated than it ought to be.

OMG!! As a Grumman junkie, I just have to have one and all the eventual variants. And it's in my chosen scale, and even the far end of my area of interest. Joel
