Anyone know of a Rare Bear repaint for the VS F8?

Thanks,
LouP

Maybe they're hiding it where the patch is... :icon_lol:

Hmmm, yea, it may be stuck together with the F9F patch. . . .never thought of that. . . . .hmmm

I remember seeing a Rare Bear repaint for either the VS F8 or a freeware Alpha Bleu Ceil Bearcat. Can't remember. They are for FS9... I haven't seen any for FSX and I have not tested the FS9 textures in FSX. I'll dig around and let you know.

the bear is so highly modified it wouldnt make much sence to put it on a stock airframe would it?

Some racing-Bearcats of the past, in less-modified configurations than Rare Bear, that might make for some great subjects, applied to a stock-airframe:

This aircraft held a speed record. Check out the very small canopy and stubby wings.

Found this at Flightsim it's for FS9, sorry.

http://www.flightsim.com/images/fscfiles//n/supercat.gif FS2004 Grumman F8F Bearcat "SuperCat". In 1956 Grumman experimented with the last 26 Bearcats off the production line. These special 26 F8F-2, Bearcats called "SuperCats" received major modifications to the R-2800-30W engine and increase the horsepower from 2250 hp to over 4500 hp. Of these 26 aircraft only three survived. You are the lucky private owner of #24. This aircraft was rumored to have been clocked at over 615 mph by Navy test pilots in 1956 over the Nevada test range. Based on BEARCAT3.ZIP (http://www.flightsim.com/file.php?cm=SEARCH1&fsec=0&fname=BEARCAT3.ZIP) by Michel Migaud, Jean-Pierre Langer, Jean-Pierre Bourgeois, Benoit M. Dube, Marc Hardouin. Mods by Aaron Penn.

Maybe the author could do them for FSX, could'nt hurt to ask.

Even though it's a highly modded frame, the white and gold paint scheme on Rare Bear does the Bearcat
justice....real purty!!:icon_lol:

[LouP]

Any takers? :wavey::jump:

Rare Bear is an awesome scheme. I'd surely give it a go if I had the model.

Don't go there. :icon_lol:

[falcon409]

the bear is so highly modified it wouldn't make much sense to put it on a stock airframe would it?
No doubt Daveroo. . . .the modified airframe looks more like a Seafury than it does a Bearcat.:kilroy:
