F-8E Crusader, VMF(AW)-235, based at Da Nang in 1967.

1/72 scale from Academy kit with Superscale decals

Mostly OOB, only additions were:

- lowered flaps and slats

- added some pipes and conduit in the main gear well

I could't weather the model as I wished as I would have never finished in time for the end of the GB. I'll do this at a later stage.

Please vote for your favourite.

The voting has been split into two parts, If the model you wish to vote for is in Part one vote for it and then vote for none of these in Part two.

If the model you wish to vote for is in Part two, vote for non e of these in Part one and then the model in Part two.

Any questions PM the Hosts and or Mish
