F8F-1 Bearcat, VF-3, US Navy, early 1946, Lt A.M. "Mike"

| The lack
of wing dihedral on the Bearcat model was discussed in the coverage
of Beetle Bomb. However, the wings on this Bearcat actually have some
anhedral. Shame. Generally, this copy isn't up to SkyMax's usually
high manufacturing standards; there's a glue fingerprint on the port
wheelwell cover, and the prop was scratched. One odd thing about both
of my Bearcats is that the prop is unbalanced and always tries to
settle into the same place. |
