RareBear expert needed

Hi Jason

Cool video!:cool: I´m looking forward to watch the Reno races live someday.

Where can I find the racer scale modeling forum? Is it at warbirdaeropress? I have not registered there yet and couldn´t find it anywhere else.:confused:

Cheers:)

Yes, it’s in the Warbirdaeropress.com forums, sign up and enjoy the tons of information about air racing.

Careful with that link. Every time I click on the photo gallery my anti virus kicks in.

Yeah, that’s the only problem with the site lately and I think it has something to do with the server. It’s a great site and I know the webmaster personally so post with confidence if you wander on over.
Stuntman Mike, I posted the Key Publishing link with the pictures of your models over on the Racer Scale Modeling forum, so if you want, come on over and discuss all things racers.
Also, here’s a video I just put together of the Unlimited Gold heat race from Friday 9/12/08 http://www.vimeo.com/4205060 the video is kind of jerky when played on the websites flash player, so I suggest you download it and play it using something like Real Player.

I might as well help with the advice. At WWW.WARBIRDAEROPRESS.COM
The son of LYLE SHELTON posts as “BellCobraIV”. He is a fountain of air race information esp. the RAREBEAR. There was also a book about the history of the RAREBEAR released.

Hi guys

Thanks for the info. Seems like I´m getting closer and closer to the goal. A good feeling after 18 month of exhausting search with no results. Really cool.

Cheers:)

PS:
Here´s the new thread for the racer models:

Hi, PM me as a good friend of mine is providing the hanger for the Bear and he might have some of the info you need.

Cheers

Hi Folks

If someone here is registered at the “Warbirds Information Exchange Site”, I´d be very happy if that person could ask there for me. I don´t want to register in 1001 platforms to ask just one question. If you can help me: YOU DA MAN:cool:

I WOULD recomend you join WIX. Firstly they are the experts on all things obscure and American.
Secondly they would love to see your models.

Rgds Cking

P.S. I like the sound of you project, may we see the rest of the models when you have finished?

Hi Cking

I should take a deeper look into the WIX. Maybe it could be interesting for future projects.

You´d like to see some more models? No problem. I´ll start a new thread in the model kit area. I have some race´n´record planes already finished and some other under construction.

🙂

Great, thank you very much!!!

There is now a question on the WIX site!-VERY cool model, BTW!

Hi Folks

Thanks for the fast answers. I have sent an email to the homepage two weeks ago but they haven´t answered yet. I´ve really turned the Internet inside out. I´m looking for this information for about one and a half year…:D

I also have contacted John Penney(the RareBear-Pilot himself) and he does not know anything about the original paintjob…:confused: He´s the one who sent me the other two pictures of the wreck but he couldn´t help me with the colors. He joined the team years after the plane had been restored. I don´t want to ask him a thousand questions, I bet he has more important things to do than looking around for information to make scale modelers happy.:rolleyes:

A few days ago I have ordered the book “Racing for the gold – The story of Lyle Shelton and the RareBear”. I hope there´s some helpful information inside.

I´m a patient guy…it just takes some time and everything will be fine…hopefully…:o

Cheers:)

PPS:
If someone is interested…this is the finished 1985 version of the “Bear”. A great kit to build – very challenging but drop dead beautyful when finished. Hope you like it:

Hi Kevin-i assume you’ve already emailed the Rare Bear team?-there are contact details on the site-you might like to try the Warbirds Information Exchange site too-there might be someone on there who knows a man who knows a man etc!!-good luck!

Couldn’t find anything for you, but here is a potted history of the restoration for anyone needing more information.:)
