Hi all, here's my F8F-1 Bearcat easy assembly kit built for the Salty Sea Dog GB. Build thread here: Picked it up as something small to practice on before I build Hobbyboss's larger Bearcat. Can't fault the kit at all it was a super fun and laid back build- exactly what a starter easy kit should be. Assembly took no time at all, it could even be done with no glue as most parts just snap into place. I'm glad to see Hobbyboss are releasing the F8F-2 soon as an easy kit too, I hope they continue to manufacture these kits as they're a joy to build and would be great for a new modellers first build (or just to practice on). This was my first time building an aircraft deployed at sea so wanted to try a little weathering- nothing over the top just some chipping. Used AK Interactive metallic pencils and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Here are the photos: Thanks for looking in!

How do, I am shortly to be in possession of a 1/48 F8F-1 Bearcat and I'd like some painting advice please! I use Humbrol and Xtracolour enamels and I'd like some suggestions for the interior green and the exterior blue colours please. I tried the Humbrol converter, but they had no match for the Gunze 365 or 58. Parabat
