MrT''s F8F BEARCAT

[MrT]

Here is my project. 1/32 scale Bearcat by Trumpeter.



;D

 

[ShutterAce]

Where's My Bear trap.....

Ahhh..yet another bird I love. Can't wait to see this build either. This GB is gonna be the death of me. I want and need to build but I want to see all these cool Naval/Marine kits being built on this thread. If I had to list my favorite warbirds in order, the F8F is in the top 5 easy. In fact, probably No.2. All the best to you MrT. I will be following this one closely.

 

[MrT]

Thanks for the encouragement guys! I've been wanting to build this one for a while now.

;D

Re: MrT''s F8F BEARCAT"LET THE WORK BEGIN"

Ok let's get started. Step one is the cockpit. I done some dry assembly to get my bearings in the new office.







Oh man I just noticed that the joy stick is backwards. This is going to be good build. ???

Going to get cramped real soon.

Definitely a clean build so far.

Doesn't look like a lot of detail for that scale, though

Well there is still more parts to add, however it does seem a little bare. I'm looking for some pictures of a real one to help fill in the blanks.

Good start MrT. There are plenty of good Bearcat references on the net and tons of books about em. Can't wait to see this build come together.

Don't worry about that stick... a good pilot can adapt!
