About product

F8F Bearcat engine 1:48 (Aires/Quickboost)

A resin detail engine in 1:48 scale from the maker Aires, the Quickboost line. It is not a kit of the airplane but an accessory that replaces the simpler plastic powerplant with a faithful resin replica of the radial engine, with the cylinders and the plumbing drawn out. The part is meant to be built into a matching plastic model, above all when it is shown with the engine cowling open.

The real subject

The Grumman F8F Bearcat is an American carrier-based fighter from the end of the Second World War, designed as a small and light carrier for the potent Pratt and Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engine. Compact dimensions and high power gave it an outstanding rate of climb. It saw only marginal action in the fighting of the Second World War, but it served with the navy after it as well.

Fitting and painting tips

Wash the parts free of mold release residue, cut off the casting blocks carefully and glue them with super glue. Wear respiratory protection while sanding. The engine comes into its own in metallic shades; pick the plumbing and the wiring out with a fine brush and deepen the whole with a dark wash. Dry-fit it before you close the cowling.

Who the engine is for

  • Builders of the Bearcat in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who want a faithful engine on show
  • Anyone interested in resin accessories
  • More advanced modelers

This is a resin detail accessory, not a complete model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
