A lovely airplane, and a friend of mine was plane captain on one of the last F-8s when VF-84 retired them.

Yes, my buddy was one of the last to crew the Crusader, but I got his squadron wrong. I typed VF-84 but Joe was really with VF-24, flying from U.S.S. Hancock.

Hancock was scheduled to be retired from service and VF-24 was to retire the F-8 at the same time but they were ordered on one last cruise which ended in 1975. Both airplanes and carrier were then retired. However, there were parts of two squadrons that still flew a little while longer on U.S.S. Oriskany into '76.

Good progress.

Your Hasegawa plastic parts are definitely beautiful. I've only built a couple of the old Monogram kits but they were nice for the time they were first issued, not of the quality that your kit, though.
Title: Re: Vought Crusader, Eduard 1/48
Post by: No.1 on January 21, 2018, 02:19:55 PM
I do like Monogram kits, they have very nice details in cockpit
Title: Re: Vought Crusader, Eduard 1/48
Post by: Second Air Force on January 21, 2018, 05:06:27 PM
Yes, but Monogram was using raised panel lines during that era.......still I enjoy building them!

Raised panels are challenge to change :))

Here is work with decals. First at all, I have to trim black decals which are on the top of horizontal tail, they are bit longer then need on my sample kit. I am afraid that I make mistake in one of previous post, I told there is not letter E on kit, yes, there is letter E. Sorry for misinformation
