jonbryon Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Hello all, Here is my latest project: HobbyBoss' 1/48 Grumman F8F-1 Bearcat. This is from the F8F-1B boxing and with decals by Superscale. In the end, most of the markings are masked and painted and only the stencils on the rudder are from that sheet. The wheels are by BarracudaCast. My additions were seatbelts (Eduard generic set), the whip antenna, underwing pitot, small pylons (from Hasegawa late F4U kits) and the light on the top fuselage. Paint is Mr Color 365 Gross (sic) Sea Blue. A write up of making this kit is available here: https://jonbryon.com/hobbyboss-1-48-grumman-f8f-1-bearcat/ Thanks for looking Jon Edited July 21, 2021 by jonbryon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AD-4N Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Loved your description on how you did the exhaust stains. I have saved it for my next build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gwen Phoenix Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Impressive build, Jon! Are you focus stacking the pictures for your photography? Flawless pictures also. Cheers, Gwen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonbryon Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 Thanks Gwen. I'm not focus stacking the images. I just shoot at a very high f number (usually f29 or f32). Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
