Great Kacper, another great recoloration, very well done. A little over a month ago I built the Beetle Bomb, nice and for being my first 1/100 I achieved a good result. Maybe next week I can build it. And the voters who won where they are ?

Thanks so much for your fantastic re-paints Kacper. I've yet to build any of Nobi's Bearcats and I'm well up to my neck with other commitments at the moment but I'm thinking down the track I'll do all of them plus yours in one hit.
I'm sure there must a serious F8F fan on this forum who can start on yours straight away!
Again, a HUGE thank you for doing what you do here my friend.

Regards, Garry G.

Thank you for sharing. This is a nice plane!

ps: I always wonder how it could have done in WWII.

Nice work on this little hot rod Karol.

[PacificWind]

Really decent work, Karol!
Lately I don't have time for building models, so it's nice to see one of my repaints built by someone else. Thanks a lot for this!

Excellent choice of a recolor, Kacper, and an excellent build, Karol.

Your model is top notch. Bearcats were a beautiful aircraft. From the mid eighties until the early nineties, I was a frequent attendee to the Kalamazoo air show. It was always great to see their four Grumman "Cats" plus an F-14 fly in formation.

Thanks everyone. I was pondering making my own reclor of F8F to S.Vietnamese livery but since Kacper did outstanding job on this I think it warranted a build.
