Hello again, back with another project completed! The first model of this project is a HobbyBoss 1/72 F8F-1B Bearcat, finished in French colors while in service in what was then still called Indochina. I was pleasantly surprised by the engineering and fit of the model, which lends itself well to further detailing. So don't be put off by the "Easy Assembly" label. The second model is Special Hobby's SB2C-5. Also a nicely detailed kit but in some respect not so easy assembly. The pair of them are a nice addition to my collection!
