The F8F Bearcat is an obscure airplane, but an interesting one. This kit has excellent fit with its parts, and only needed a little clean-up to remove flash from a few spots. Surface detail is excellent. Cockpit detail is good. The only real flaw is the engine, which has molded-on valve rods, limited detail on the cylinders and no wiring harness; it's buried deep in the cowling and can only be partly viewed from the front, but if you want to display the engine you should consider an aftermarket replacement. Decals allow two options: a French plane from the battle of Dien Bien Phu, or a Royal Thai Air Force plane (the Thai decals have a cool flying dragon head, but the Thai roundels and tail flash were printed out of register in my kit). This is probably the best F8F Bearcat kit available.Read full review

Won't build it for a while but experience tells me Hobby Boss is a top shelf manufacturer and I have no doubt I'll be pleased with the finished model.
