Great job and love those markings! That was one powerful and fast plane.

Yes the OOB cockpit is pretty nicely detailed, I did not take a pic, I forgot to on this build, I usually take a pic of the pit before closing fuselage.

Hello all, just finished off this build. I wanted to do a Bearcat and picked up this kit which had markings for 2 air forces, French and Thai. I chose Thai as I simply just liked the decals better for this version and both aircraft were same paint scheme. So it is a bit of an unusual one, but I enjoyed the build, it went together well.

I used brass tube for gun barrels and some lead wire for brake lines on undercarriage.


I used Vallejo and Tamiya paints for this one plus Life Color exhaust stain colour and dark wash, I wanted a well used aircraft so I think I got the look right.
Thanks for looking
