Grumman F8F-1B Bearcat 1/48 Hobby Boss Royal Thai Air Force,


Recommended Posts

Went together very well, little bit of filler required.  I love these 'easy assemble' Hobbyboss kits,they are a good mojo returner because they go together well. I added some generic seatbelts and a bit of scratchbuilding to liven up the cockpit and I am pleased with the results. 

Ultimate primer and Tamiya acrylics used throughout.

Very nice indeed Ron!  🥃 You did a great job on your Bearcat! :clap2:  I've always liked those planes, and think it has been somewhat forgotten.  

 

I had the good fortune to see one up close and personal at an air show in Waco, Texas, back in the late 1980s.    I'm sure I have some 35mm prints of it somewhere.    It's a shame their career was no longer than it was.
