The Testors/Hawk is not a bad model. Just throw away the landing gear, scratch build the gear, cockpit and intakes. The canopy is way under scale so if you can find the Monogram F9F Panther canopy use it. You can buy them from Revellogram. It is actually close to that of the Banshees. I built the photobird and fighter versions using the method I described. They both came out nice. The model is an early F2H, I believe a 1, so it would be suitable for the Korean War.
