The Centaurus Bearcat is just fantastic.

The others ain't half bad either!

Please post some more, bigger photos if you can.

Some good looking stuff Jaybee! I agree with the others, that Bearcat just jumps out at me! All are quite nice, hope you get the hang of sharing pics, as I'd love to see more

Welcome aboard and bugger.

Been working on a RN Bearcat with the same Monogram kit (got it painted white and been sitting ever since).
I thought about adding a spinner and got to admit, looks good with it.

Thanks Brian da Basher, I can now post photos.
It was the usual technical problem ---------- Human higorance!!!!!

Gunfighter, just for you, the underside of the Kelpie.

I would imagine the Kelpie wasn't favoured for non carrier deck operations with the nose wheel.

Great work though.

Greg

As another fan of trike-geared Mustangs, could I trouble you for a bigger photo of that one, please? Fantastic ideas, all, JayBee!

GTX
Do not be so sure. The Griffon with the re-shaped nose was so smooth aerodynamically that the American air racers bought up the few that were available. In the early Reno races these were so fast that they were subsequently banned and, for the time being, the only one known to be in existance is the one under restoration at the FAA Museum at RNAS Yeovilton.

John Howling Mouse (weird name!) Oh well. you will find my e-mail address in the mebers list, and you are invited to drop me an e-mail and I will in return send you all the photos I have of the Kelpie.
Have you checked Wikipedia yet?
Yes, it is a Sea Mustang with Attitude!!!!!!

I hope they had a stone/mud guard on the nose wheel then to stop FOD damage to the radiator intake!

Greg

Here is another photo of the Dewotine D522.

That last one is pretty good, Jaybee - approx. 800px wide is a good size.

They did not need a stone/mudguard.
They used a retractable mesh guard, just like the Cessna A-37.
