Starfighter Decals 1/48 F8F-1 Bearcats in USN Service
By Matt Bittner
Starfighter Decals continue their 1/48 releases with this set for the Academy/Hobbycraft F8F-1 Bearcat. There are decals for three aircraft on this sheet (although there are common decals for only one aircraft) all mainly finished in overall Gloss Sea Blue:
- F8F-1 95131 CAG-1 1948 with tri-color stripes on the tip of the external fuel tank and rudder trim-tab
- F8F-1 95106 VF-11 1949 with red rudder tip and rudder trim-tab
- F8F-1 94759 NOTS 1950, is more colorful with mainly-chrome yellow wings (with Gloss Sea Blue tips and trailing edges)
If you're looking for alternate markings for your Academy/Hobbycraft 1/48 F8F-1 Bearcat, then look to Starfighter Decals to meet that need.
Thanks to Starfighter Decals for the review sample.
