Folks:
Here are some WIP photos of my F2H-5 swept wing Banshee. The Banshee is the old 1/72 Airfix kit. I was going to sell it but it got a stay of execution. I could have used F-86 wings but to stay within the reality of the early navy birds, I went with a look similar to the F9F Cougar.
The wings and horizontal stabs are from the Hasegawa Fuji T-1. Of all the wing surgery I have done to date, this has been so far the easiest cut and attach. The chord depth and thickness were really close. A nice blend of the leading edges.
I will use the T-1 landing gear which will provide more ground clearance.
Sorry for the shadows. It is 9 AM.
