Grumman F8F Bearcat

Hobby Boss Easy Build Bearcat

Here’s the companion to my Monogram Bearcat. This is the third Easy Build kit I’ve done from Hobby Boss and while they are a bit simplified in detail compared to most modern kits, in many ways they are far superior to the old kits I [...]

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 [...]

Hobby Boss, 1:48 Scale, Grumman F8F-1, "Bearcat"

Grumman F8F-1 Bearcat - 1/72

This is one of the US-Navy cats that I like really more, due to its aggressive looking, powerful engine and operational history. The kit is the old Monogram released in 1976 in a new Revell box with new and good decals. Despite the quality [...]
