HobbyBoss 1/48 Bearcat Armée de l’Air

[goon]

Hello every one,
Here is my French Bearcat, bought on impulse for less than a tenner as a quick build between larger projects. Of course, I then couldn't resist buying the Eduard BigEd set for it, and some decals too! A very different subject for me, I really enjoyed this one, and will come back to some more prop fighters in the future.


















Thanks for looking!
Gareth

Superb, really well done

The weathering is stunning, especially around the front of the engine

Great weathering mate. Like the dirt on the wheels, very subtle but adds a lot of realism. What's your technique for the this and the chipping along the panel lines?

[Paul]

Very nice work goon, superbly weathered, brilliant

[Radzy]

Well done Gareth! This cat really looks amazing and nicely weathered.
Congrats

Very impressive. Love all the decals. What parts are AM?

Thanks for the comments guys. The dirt on the wheels and doors is from a Tamiya weathering set, the ones with three colours in. I think it was set B. Silver on the panel edges is just a sharp silver pencil run along the panel lines.

Extra bits are the rockets, and the BigEd set which details the cockpit and landing gear, plus new fins for the bombs.

Cheers,
Gareth
