Another Reno Racing F8F-2 Bearcat.
Do I have the right "id" number on this model? I added some "PE" parts to the cockpit, but left out the "PE" parts for the wheel wells. I must have had a photo and/or a drawing of the wheel wells, otherwise I would have used the PE parts.
I did make one mistake in finishing the model but I will let you viewer's tell me what it is.
As usual I applied Tamiya's gloss white paint, then added the decals that Dave made for me and overcoated the entire model with FFW (Future Floor Wax). The FFW is always thinned with 4 parts of Denatured Alcohol,(DA) and the same with all my Tamiya paints.
Enjoy! RJW
Nice work.
The little mistake, in my eyes, is the position-lamps in the wing tips. According to the photo they seem smaller and with white glass, not coloured.

Nice modeling Rodney, very good work on the white, as well as the lettering and numerals.
Rodney, I don't see any problems, and its nice enough I wouldn't care.
I believe I saw this airplane race on an episode of "Wide World of Sports" !, I remembered it was narrated by the actor Cliff Robertson and it was the first time I had ever seen or heard of a Bearcat.
Very well done !
Beautiful as usual! I remember alway watching the Reno Air Races on Wide World of Sports back in the mid 60's. Slovak, Greenamyer, et al. Pretty heady stuff for a teen age boy who wanted to (and did) grow up to be a fighter pilot.
Nice and difficult work.
