F9F-8T
Cougar

Kitty Hawk's 1/48 scale F9F-8T Cougar. (Or shitty hawk as Augie likes to call them). This one was surely a pain, fit was extremely poor. The wing mounting was really bad. I dropped it and broke both wings off not once but twice. Once after I had finished all of the paint. The nose was a total pain, it did not fit at all. There was a maybe 2-3mm step on the bottom of where the nose joined the center fuselage. I had to fashion a piece of plastic sheet to fill that step and then use putty to fair it in. It is not perfect, but better than it was.
