Serge Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) This is my recently finished HobbyBoss 1/48 F8F Bearcat in the markings of French service against the Viet Minh in the First Indochina War as fighter-bombers in the early 1950s. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Edited February 13, 2019 by Serge 50 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holzhamer Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 This is a great looking Bearcat, a lot of detail in it, superbly painted and weathered. Those exhaust stains look like the real thing, how did you achieve it Serge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy Bird Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Very nicely done, Serge! I'm not familiar with that kit, but I suspect a lot of what I can see in your model are extra details added by you? Beautiful paint work!

cybershed Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Lovin your work Serge! I built your kitten's twin sister a wee while back. Nowhere near as good as your effort with all its detail and great weathering. However, I like it and it sits proudly in my cabinet at the moment. FWIW, here she is... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill.B Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Very nicely done Serge, and in an unusual scheme too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzby061 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Lovely work. A Bearcat in my favourite scheme. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fubar57 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Beauty. I wasn't aware HobbyBoss did a Bearcat. That would look very cool sitting next to my HobbyBoss French Aeronavale F4U-7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Serge, Beautiful Bearcat! The finish and detailing are both very realistic, and I echo the comments made regarding the weathering and exhaust stains. Is that overall Sacre Bleu? Just kidding- well done!

HansReggelsen Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) A great model of this little brute! It looks as if they just took the biggest engine they had, put on some wings and that's that! I like it!
