Hasegawa Bearcat is the same mould as the Monogram/Revell according to Scalemates.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Why does everything in French sound like some kind of sauce? :unsure:

"Gabonaise"! :rolleyes: :angel:

Nice build & backstory, though, Dizzy! ;) :thumbsup:

Because the sauces are named after places. Sauce Bearnaise => sauce from Bearn. Etc.

But you knew that..  ;)

Hobby Boss recently added an F8F in 1:72 to their range, too - but it is a rather simplistic model.

I just remembered that my mum brought me a large pile of 72nd model planes for xmas when i was a little dude and in it was a Monogram Bearcat..thanks Thomas mate..i wouldnt have remembered that other wise.  ;D
Im not going to build another one ..ive got a heap of planes now..well nothing compared to you blokes but alot for me since before Guy sent me one i had no unbuilt ones at all and now..lots  :lol:
And more when the 3 i ordered turn up at some point.

I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Oh!  and here I thought the name meant it was made from bear's noses ...  :P
