Position-lights on Panther
 
Anyone: Where (and what ) are the position-lighths on a F9-f-5 Panther? I just want this to be as accurate as possible.
Thank You;)

Hi,

I have 288 photos of an F9F-5 that I took this year of the retired airframe on a stand in front of the VFW hall in Janesville Wisconsin.

Let me know what photos you are looking for and I will email them to you. I have about every inch of the plane photographed in hi resolution.

Here are some low res samples:

Check with Dan Gill at www.details4scale.com , He makes a lighting kit for the F9F Panther and
designed a F9F-5 . I have one with the lighting kit . Ken

Thank You. I will be happy to see some more shots. I know the basic light-configuration on the plane, but some are hard to identify exactly where they are placed on the airframe.

Hi,
Here are some photos of the belly light it is located aft of the gear doors port of center.
Please let me know if these photos help with location.
What else do you need clarification on?

I tried to locate some of the other lights, the Dorsal Light is port of center behind the canopy.
The LE wing light on the port side is 18" from the wingtip/ tip tank panel line.

Let me know if you need further clarification.

Thanks Jroth! Now it's pretty clear! :D
Thnx:D
I belive there should be a red/orange beacon on top of fuselage aft of canopy? Is this correct?

Hi,

If you are asking about the "dorsal" light from the previous post. The reproduction was a block of wood painted white, I do not know if it had a two color lense .
