Monogram’s Bearcat
Here's the old Monogram F8F Bearcat. This kit came to me from my old friend Mike Saggs, who passed away a little over a year ago. Mike was one of the best figure painters I ever knew and was a great mentor to me when I started my journey down the figure painting road. I think of him every time I work on a model.
The kit was quite old so the decals were no good. I purchased a Hobby Boss Easy Kit of the Bearcat mainly for the decals since that was cheaper than buying a decal sheet. I know the Hobby Boss kit is a -1 and the Monogram a -2 but, in this case, it's close enough.
Excellent job on this oldie, Scott!
This Bearcat turned out beautifully, Scott @guitarhack5
