Starfighter Decals 1/48 F8F-2 Bearcats in USN Service
By Matt Bittner
This set of F8F-2 Bearcats in 1/48 from Starfighter has markings for the following aircraft:
- F8F-2D, 122663, VU-4, UD/60, NAAS Chincoteague, 1953/4
- F8F-2, 121701, VF-152, A/0, CAG aircraft, 1949
- F8F-2, 121695, VF-194, B/402, USS Boxer, 1950
- F8F-2, 121664, VF-61, C/103, USS Coral Sea, 1949
All Bearcats are finished overall in Gloss Sea Blue and the Chincoteague aircraft has yellow flying surfaces with red stripes on the wing and a fully red rudder. Decals appear to be in register and color saturation looks good. If you're looking for alternate markings for your 1/48 Bearcat then definitely track these down.
A big "thank you" to Starfighter Decals for sending these for review.
