This set is intended to improve the look of that hinge region without changing the overall wing planform, keeping fit dependent on the kit’s fold option and alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor modelers:\u003c\/strong\u003e decide early whether you will display the wings folded or extended, because the hinge area affects assembly order. Dry-fit the fold parts with the wing halves and the wing-to-fuselage joint, then lock in the hinge angle before paint. Paint the hinge bay and mechanism as a sub-assembly, and add the smallest PE items after base coats so edges stay crisp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grumman F9F-2 Panther (wing folding mechanism)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariant \/ Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e F9F Panther family (F9F-2, kit-dependent)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/48 (also written as 1:48)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Detail Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType of equipment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e for Trumpeter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eService \/ Subject country:\u003c\/strong\u003e operator-dependent (historical service aircraft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metallic Details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ukraine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resin parts \/ 3D-printed parts \/ photo-etched metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e MDR4874\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis item is part of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metallic-details\"\u003eMetallic Details\u003c\/a\u003e and belongs to \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/aftermarket\"\u003eAftermarket\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/exterior-details\"\u003eExterior Details\u003c\/a\u003e.
