Looking @ pictures of the F9F-2 PANTHER, the markings on it appear to be identical to the F8F in either yellow or dark blue, those were the days when a 'graphic designer' was a painter who cussed a blue streak while he painted :wink:
Couldn't locate any sheets of the BEARCAT in Blues livery on line.

I know Hobbycraft has a kit in 48th with Blues decals, guess I'll have to go find one of them! :roll:

The HOBBYCRAFT decals are for 'BEETLE BOMB' the yellow BEARCAT but the color of blue is too light and needs to be more gloss sea blue not the almost blue angels shade on the kits sheet, and they are just a teeny bit to small. SUPERSCALE sheet MS 48 1184 is for #1 ANGEL F-9-F-2 PANTHER so it will have yellow letters.

So this is all I've seen and led me to believe the Hobbycraft kit has them? :?

BEETLE BOMB scheme, if you get the SUPERSCALE sheet, you'l have decal spares including stencils for several projects in the future for a couple of bucks.
