KingTiger435 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 this model has been on my to-do list for two years now, I finally got round to making it. It only took a week! It's a decent model, didn't have many problems with it. I'm pretty happy with the result, a good way to start 2023... Next up (probably): RA-5C Vigilante, should look good next to the crusader. 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was she straight from the box? Martin Thanks Martin! Yes, this kit was built fully OOB, I did scratchbuild some seatbelts but everything else is from the box. Decals too. Here's a scalemates link to the specific kit I got: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/academy-12521-f-8e-crusader-vf-162-hunters--943913 The kit also comes with bombs and missiles but I preferred it empty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopesdaddy Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Great looking Crusader, a lovely build of the last gunfighter, I too prefer to build them clean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serkan Sen Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Looks very eye catching. Couple years ago I started RF-8C conversion but no progress since then... Serkan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
