This
is my third attempt at building a model of the Bearcat. This is after being
completely dissatisfied with the look of both the Hawk/Testor and Academy/Hobbycraft
kits when done OOB. Built with all manner of detail sets, including all the
Cutting Edge products, Teknics brass undercarriage, Squadron canopy &
wheels, Aires engine and Superscale decals. New main undercarriage doors made
from plasticard. Painted with Xtracolor enamels.
I
will
attempt the F8F-1 next with yet more aftermarket stuff, including CE's wing fold
and LSM's wheel well set.
Of
course, I wouldn't have gone through all this trouble (and expense) if I didn't
think that this was one of THE best prop-driven aircraft to come out of America.
