If there was any justice it would be a 1/48 RF-8A Crusader(F8U-1P pre 1962 designation).The version which served the longest (1957-1987) and hasn't been kitted yet.

Yes, yes and YES

With the right tooling there is no reason all marks of Recce Crusader cant be in the same box, there are not that many differences.

I am about to re-rtry with my Maintrac conversion so that should que up a plastic one?

Hello all, I would most certainly purchase the 1/48 F7-U and the 1/48 FJ-3. I'm hoping that they offer the Cutlass with optional wing folds. I prefer to build Naval and Marine Corps with the option of folded wings, when possible...it's a matter of display space. So far the Kitty Hawk kits seem to be good quality. I have the Hobby Craft F7-U kits as  well as the Collect Aire correction set. If the Kitty hawk is of good quality, I'd sell the F7-U correction set. I have a number of variants of the FJ-4 Fury, but building the ESCI FJ-2, 3 (??!!) would be more trouble than it's worth. I can't wait! Of course "She Who Must Be Obeyed" has different feelings.

Hi Nick

 

That's a big 'if' there. My interest in US Naval aircraft is pretty thin but even I can see that most of their offerings so far have some serious issues. If pushed for the worst I'd say Banshee but there are others.

I agree. Have you seen the 3D renderings for their proposed Su-25? Just a mess that I will not consider buying. There's still time to fix it since they haven't cut the molds, but they more than likely won't bother.

 

There's only one or two kits they make I that would consider buying - at a very steep discount.

 

They should hang their heads over the lump of plastic they put in a box and labeled as a Banshee.

Stephe was inquiring about the RF8G. RVHP made one (don't know if it's still around) I've got one. I might be persuaded to part with it. Kitty Hawk is supposedly releasing the F7U this year. I' gone ahead and bought Lone Star's photo nose. If Kitty Hawk doesn't come through, I have 7 of the old Hobby Craft kits and a few of the Collect Aire correction sets. Thanks! Nick

What do you see wrong with the

Su-25 CAD?

Here's my post on the KH Su-25 thread. Looks "similar" to a real Su-25. Nose is wrong, air brakes on wing tips are wrong, wing are set wrong, . . . .The kit will be a mess if they don't fix it.
