Surely JetFX in Oz could shed some light on this aircraft.They appear to be a dealer.Maybe they have some video or some more construction details?
I hope to have the time to take some detail photos during the week as I have the chance to go over it in detail. My first impressions have been really good, its quite a big model for 1/6 scale and sitting near an 1/5 Airworld Cougar at Wangaratta jets last weekend it was not that much smaller. Some initial features of note are the exceptionally detailed finish, functional pnumatic scale tail hook assembly, quality internal glue joints and removable nose cone for easy access to flight systems which is similar to the Airworld Panther and Cougar. And an often overlooked issue on near every ARF to date, the DJM F9F-8 has fully enclosed molded wheel wells for the main gear!!! I will post some pics soon, if theres anything in particular you would like to see just let me know and I will take some photos for you...

Heres a You Tube vid of DJM Cougar factory prototype during flight testing-
