Skyhunter66 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Ok so this is my third and final upload this week! I've had three kits all at the same stage since May so am on a concerted effort to get them finished. Eduard 1:48 F8 Crusader, VMF235, 'Deaths Angels' , Da Nang Air Base, Vietnam 1968 Very enjoyable kit this one and the Furball decals were very nice indeed and by and large a good fit although the intake took some doing! This is one of Eduards limited edition kits so has the canopy masks and various Brassin parts to go with it. Paints are Tamiya and Gunze and Alclads for the exhaust. Highly recommended Chris 35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan B Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Very nicely done, I have been resisting breaking one of these out of stock for a while now but might not be able to resist much longer seeing this one! Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfordhibby Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I don't do 1/48, but if I did ...... If it turned out half as nice as this, then someday maybe. Very nice indeed, and food for thought. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyhunter66 Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 Many thanks guys - appreciate your comments. You can't see it on the photos really but I used a mottling technique on this build. I painted it black as a base them mottled the gray and white over it - took a bit of time but I liked the effect at the end! cheers chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
