Stupid Question???
On the approved aircraft list for 2548 Why wouldn't a F8F Bear Cat fit in?

If you go back to the list in 2548, there you will find section A3:
<i>A.3 Selection Criteria. The model must be a
scale replica of a propeller driven fighter or
fighter bomber that was in active combat
squadron service between 9/1939 and 7/1953
and scored aerial victories against manned
aircraft during that period.</i>
The F8F never scored an aerial kill in its career.
The designers of 2548 wanted to include only planes that actually saw combat during WW2.
