Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Love the Crusader and this is one of the best schemes they ever wore. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Tom, OK, now I am really depressed! Beautiful build of the old Hasegawa kit, which still can hold its own against the Academy kit, especially in the hands of a master modeler like yourself! Another of your outstanding models!

David H Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 The Hasegawa F-8E would not be my first choice as the starting point, but you've done a brilliant job and the end result speaks for itself. Looks like you caught all the subtle nuances of the early build/ re-manufactured Crusaders. Great choice of paint scheme! -d- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
