Most people may not realize that the Panther was flown by more Marine units than by Navy ones. During this decade in Naval Aviation, there were a bewildering number of aircraft around. Rather than have to deal with all these types, the USMC stuck with basically what worked well for them and let the Navy have all the new (and often troublesome) new types. That is why you don't see USMC Demons or Cutlasses!

This particular sheet is for an unusually colorful F9F-5 from VMFT-20, a Marine training unit. There are lots of green bits and pieces for the nose, wings and tail section. Combine that with the dark sea blue airframe and the white/red insignia, and you have an eye-catching aircraft.

If you want to stick with the sea blue scheme but want something a bit different from what is in the kit, then this is the one for you.

Just as an aside, unlike several other decals you may try, Superscale makes sure that those decals for the convoluted surfaces of the nose, tip tanks and other locales will actually fit.
