UnCarlitosModelista Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 (edited) Just wanted to share some pics of one of my latest finished models. F-8E Crusader BuNo. 149159, VF-162 "The Hunters", USS Oriskany, September 1966. From de Eduard kit #11110 (Hasegawa rebox). Scratched catapult attachment. Scratch of the brake bay, to place it in just open position. Thinned out edges: rudder, stabilizers and flaps. Wingfold corrected in the upper wings. Entirely riveted with Rosie. Painted and effects with AK products. I hope you like it! greetings from Argentina! Edited August 11, 2019 by UnCarlitosModelista 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Brantley Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Darn right that a nice one! That's a great model of one of my all-time favorite aircraft. Many folks don't realize that the F-8 Crusader had the best kill ratio [19:3] of any U.S. aircraft in the Vietnam War. Your work on this one is sublime, and the exhaust just looks fantastic. Great model from Argentina! Le gusta mucho! Edited August 11, 2019 by Gary Brantley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nocoolname Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Fantastic build! Shame about the pictures being spammed by Photobucket but its a great kit all the same. I really like the B&W photo at the intro too. If my memory serves me right, they used to launch them, back in the early days by having a big guy 'scare' them off the deck. Apparently this proved unreliable so the switched to catapult launches instead. And the rest, as they say, is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busnproplinerfan Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) She's a pretty one, love the pilots call sign. Very presentable of the real thing, even though I never saw one in service. Have a bunch I have to start making.
