Just finished another Academy F-8 Crusader. I absolutely love this mould, I would love to shake the designers hand and buy them a pint...!
F-8E, VF-162 'The Hunters', USS Oriskany 1966, Task Force 77, Vietnam.
Airbrushed with Tamiya acrylics (beautiful to work with), light wash with Flory grime and sealed with Xtracrylix flat varnish. I have used etch for the seat handles as the kit ones are overly thick. Etch for the seat straps too.
I love this shot:
Cheers gang.
