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 [...]

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

Calling this one FINI! Nice little kit which I built completely OOB. I've always liked Leroy Grumman's 'Hot Rod' as it was called in Grumman Corp. Circles. The kit as it comes OOB, is actually a -1b. I wanted to build a real early [...]

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 [...]

5 – Grumman F8F-1 Bearcat 1/72 from Sword

I went into this build just wanting to use this kit as a practice but fell in love with this plane, it was designed to be a massive upgrade to the flying forces in WW2 but got there 2 weeks to late. Because of the lack of it's service I [...]

1/48 Scale F8F-2 GULFHAWK 4.

The real aircraft was not a "racer." I went to what we call here in the U.S.A. as an "Air-Show" which had several airplanes, along with many other airplane related items. Mike is a fellow modeler from our IPMS/USA San [...]
