Revell F8F-1 Bearcat 1/72

Post by KSaarni »

Hi all,

this bird is then done!

As told earlier in the WIP section, not so satisfied with the decaling, especially regarding the orange line. Should have painted it instead...
Also the colour is not really what I wanted, looks darker (= better?) in the pictures than in reality though.

Nevertheless, now it stands next to it's older brothers, Wild and Hell

good Bearcat, love the Blue with the Reserve Unit Orange. The Dark Navy Blue is tricky, not do black, not to ight, little green ton in the blue...so ok, and the the next blue will follow..

A very nice addition to your collection of cats.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thank you everyone! :-)

Now I wish I would find a F7F-Tigercat in 1/72.
But they (or it, only an old Monogram kit ? ) seem to be very rare and not that easy to be found.
At least on this side of the "pond".. :hmm:

Thank you Blacksheep, that is really kind of you and that would be great!

Let me know if you would happen to find it and then we can look at the practicalities, payments & logistics!

Thanks!
