The Cougar color scheme you have pictures of above is an Air World Cougar that belonged to Ali. He described the color scheme as a "fantasy scheme" because it did not come from an actual military aircraft, but was created out of believable elements that could have been a real color scheme.

I agree it is beautiful. If you don't intend to compete in a scale contest, it is a great scheme and I am sure would look great on your Panther. If you keep with his design, I suppose the tip tanks would be mostly yellow with some black trim .. that would be perfect for visibility.

Again, this is an awesome build thread, and you are an amazing builder!
