Aircraft of the F9F-2 and F9F-3 variants were deployed aboard fleet aircraft carriers and operated from the Western Pacific between 1950 and 1953. These aircraft carried distinctive carrier air group markings, modex numbers, and unit identifiers that varied between squadrons and deployment periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis decal set is intended for modelers focusing on early Cold War naval jet aircraft and accurate carrier-based markings. The decals are printed on thin carrier film to support precise application on the Panther’s smooth fuselage surfaces, wings, and external fuel tanks.
