Das BearKatze

[mcollazo]

What if the United States had not entered WWII at all and had become a world supplier of arms?  Maybee we would have sold our Aircraft to Germany as exports and one of those would have ended in a German/Japanese Aircraft Carrier.  What if the Bearcat had ended up serving under the Kriegsmarine built under contract by Focke Wolfe.

Well thats the subject here a German Bearcat in WWII.5  under this timeline the US pacifist movement does not allow the government to enter the war, giving japans and germany munitions technology in order to guarantee peace.  Germany with the help of Japan develops its own fleet of Aircraft Carriers and buy the licensing rights to build their own Bearcat.

This is how they would have looked serving in the Pacific.

By the way this is another JunkBox recovery.

So we have IJN and Kriegsmarine Bearcats, going up against Commonwealth, Marine Nationale and Dutch Sea Furies?

Nice one, mcollazo! It would be interesting to see a BearKatze in splinter camo using the colors of the U.S. Navy's North Atlantic scheme.

That will be on the list to do next!

Very nice.......

Great model with a somewhat disturbing backstory.

I think it would look really cool in the "artificial wave" disruptive camo the Kriegsmarine used on their FW-200 Condors.

Clever!  And, looking at the reflections of your fuselage markings on the port wing, I just realized how incredibly glossy you got your paint finish---how'd you do that?

[Captain Canada]

Sweet....she looks so at home in those markings it's scary !

[mcollazo]

The Super Gloss finish is rather simple FUTURE, just apply it on top of the Gloss paint and well the wet look is set after that!
