The old Monogram kit really does look good!

Vac canopy from Falcon, a big improvement!

The Bearcat was a potent looking bird to be sure!

I primed the wings with white before spraying the yellow.

The white stripe ahead of the Stars and Bars was for the pilot to find the lower foothold when climbing out!

I added a stretched sprue whip antenna also.

I found some nice resin HVAR's online, much nicer than the kit parts.

I did it about three years ago I think. I believe the decals had just been released.

Good job with the old Monogram kit. Some picutures from the top, back or front would be wellcome 🙂

I'll get some in there soon. I just figured out yesterday how to get good depth of field with my Nikon D3100.

I bought the decals because of the yellow wings. I'd never seen a Bearcat colour scheme like that.

Album info
I used an old Monogram kit with some 'Starfighter' decals to do this post war Bearcat. I found some resin HVAR's for it too. Also had a vac canopy which makes a big improvement.
