Grumman F8F-2 Bearcat
Well, I expected this to be a one day build, but it seems it took a bit longer than that. The pinnacle of piston powered plane technology, I present, the illustrious Grumman F8F-2 Bearcat. Featuring folding wings, (semi) detailed landing gear and a colourful livery.
This is my first attempt at using fusalage inlets as numbers, much nicer and smoother don't you think?
Thanks to EternalDarkness once again for helping out in this build. You probably know who he is by now but still, check him out.
Controls:
VTOL - Flaps
AG1 + TRIM (Up) - Fold wings
AG2 - Drop fuel tank
AG8 - Turn on navigation lights
Can take off on both carriers too and dogfights really well
Infomation:
The Grumman F8F Bearcat is an American single-engine carrier-based fighter aircraft introduced in late World War II. It went on to serve into the mid-20th century in the United States Navy, the United States Marine Corps, and the air forces of other nations. It would be Grumman Aircraft's final piston engined fighter aircraft. Modified versions have broken speed records for piston-engined aircraft, and are popular among warbird owners.

It is absolutely great! Looks like the real thing and is very detailed, if only I was this good at making planes.
Haha thank you. But this build would need a complete revamp if I wanted to make it again. Very outdated build style and techniques. @KnightOfRen
It looks great! You should try remaking with glass and smoothing.
Awesome as always
Honey peaches this is good
