I echo Dan's comments. Your models are a feast for the eyes, Ricardo.

Thanks, Dan and Don You know that I like my threads to be informative

The landing gear may be complex but is very easy to apply to the wings. There is no shortage of gluing surface and the assembly is sturdy enough without extra wires.

Looks like the Bearcat is nearly complete!

Looks like your ready for a first flight. Looks incredible.

Great details, especially the landing gear. The stores really add to the kit as well.

Your beautiful Bearcat brings back memories of the Dyna-Model F8F Bearcat that I built in the early 1950s. The kit consisted of a roughly formed basswood fuselage, balsa blanks for the flying surfaces, a clear plastic canopy, and white metal castings for the undercarriage, engine, prop, pilot's seat, and underwing armament. Would love to have that kit again.

@ Don - I was not yet around, in the 1950s... You describe a handsome kit! Regarding "my" Bearcat, it is complete
@ Richschindler - only if it flies veeery low
@ Gary - I agree!
@ Joshuajaeseo - Thanks Hope you like the completed model pictures.

I mean, WHEN I am able to upload them Not now...

Hi Ricardo,

I understand your frustration, I have the same problem, couldn't upload any pictures in today's update of the Gresley build. Anyone out there, HELP! What's the issue?

Cheers,
Erik

I agree with everyone else, one of the most perfect fitting models I've ever seen. Fantastic work.

I do wonder though, if the extra paper rolls in the engine might make it nose heavy?
