1:48 "Rare Bear" decals?
Posted by oldhooker on Wednesday, November 19, 2003 9:20 AM
Greetings,

I'm currently modifying the 1:48 Testors F8F Bearcat into Lyle Shelton's "Rare Bear" unlimited racer, and want to know if there is a decal sheet available for this aircraft?



Thanks in advance....
Frank

You can also purchase this model from High Planes. Contact your local hobby shop and see if they can obtain the decals, or contact High Planes themselves. The link that Swanny included is now bookmarked with me. Outstanding! High Planes also has 1/48 and 1/72 models of many air racers which the link above will direct you to.

Do a google search for High Planes as my link doesn't seem to work when I added it here.

Thanks everyone.... I think my best bet is to see if I can get a decal set from "High Planes". Thanks for the leads!

I've already scratch built Rare Bear's cowling, canopy, and vacuformed the big prop spinner... will publish pictures once I get the paint job done... thanks again everyone!
