Reini78 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 #3/2022 After the French Corsair, my dad has finished the next French subject. Hobbycraft kit, Barracuda Studios wheels, Eduard seatbelts, gunsight from the Hasegawa F4U-7 kit, EZ Line for the antenna wire, plastic rods for the two whip antennas, plastic rods and lead wire for the brake lines. Painted with a mix of AK Real Colors Darks Sea Blue and RLM83. Build thread here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235102376-guerre-dindochine148-grumman-f8f-1b-bearcat-armée-de-l’air/ Too late for WW2, replaced by jets as a fighter in Korea and outclassed by the Corsair as fighterbomber in Korea, US Bearcats didn´t see combat action. But the French Airforce made good use of them in the Indochina War from 1951 to 1954. The model shows an aircraft of GC 1/22 "Saintonge".
