Vought F-8E Crusader, 1/72, Academy

[Touvdal]

Just finished this one, it was an entry for the Vietnam GB but did not meet the deadline, but now it is done.

 

Build out of the box, a nice kit to build fit was good.

 

Used after marked decals from DP Casper. for VF-53 on the USS Hancock.

It looks impressve! In my view, the Academy kit is the best Crusader available in 1/72 scale. I like the way you did the canopy and the cockpit section. 👍

Very nice. I have one on the shelf and aim to build it quite soon. I like building Vietnam stuff. Couple of mine below......
