Combat Models F-8F Bearcat
by Larry Hawkins

Items used in building the Bearcat: Revell Corsair engine; Monogram P-51 wheels/tires with scratched gear; Hasagawa Hellcat tailwheel; cockpit used items from Corsair, P-51 seat & floorboards, scratched the rest; boxed wheel wells in with thin sheet; built a firewall, added exhaust outlets for the exhaust & reset cowl flaps; prop was built using Robert Models resin blades; 20mm's are plastic tubing; decals from scrap box; stretched sprue for antenna; I let it sit for two weeks and gave it a light coat of car wax, hand rubbed it off to give it a faded look. Hey Rick, you beat me to the punch!!
