I believe that the new HobbyBoss F8F Bearcat comes with markings for Beetle Bomb, which was a Blue Angels aircraft..  It's in 1/48 scale..

correct. i got this kit. happy about it.

Thanks for the info. As far as the planes, I'm actually looking for both Blue Angels and Thunderbirds. I just mentioned F-4 and F-16 since those kits with the correct decals are readily available. Thanks again for the info. I'll give them a look right now

I think you mean F-18. F-16 is airforce, Blue angels are navy.

Hannants has most of them, including the T-33's and Fat Albert.

Also saw F8F ones in there, although they come as part of a pack with other  squadrons.
