a kit for the very brave modeler. real short run and a lot to modify. The decals look very nice, but I still won't trust them.

This little gubby has it all. After a lot of sanding and dry fitting, the wing and fuselage halves are finally together

I reduced the cowling with Styrene strips so that the gap between it and the engine cover is smaller.

The small flaps on the wing trailing edges were poorly formed and will therefore be removed and replaced.

Some modifications:
The outlet on the underside of the cowling was opened slightly and drawn sprues were attached to the rear part of the fuselage.

After priming, putty again and lots of sanding, typical short run.
However, the shape of the Bearcat is, typical of high planes, very harmonious.

Thanks Alex K, glad you like it. I'm surprised again at what a beautiful and convincing result comes from these very rough-looking short run kits. The parts on the cast always make a different impression.
