1/48 Monogram F-8 Crusader

  Hellenic Independence Day 2008 

 

This is the old, but still excellent F-8 kit of the famous fighter.
I had it for many years in my stock and after a Luftwaffe overdose (built the 1/48 Fw190F-8 by Trimaster) I started the building of another F-8 as a relaxing break.
The construction was OOB except for the cockpit and the airbrakes that come from the perfect set of Cutting Edge.
Those kits are designed for the Hasegawa's F-8 model, but can work very well with the Monogram kit too.
The painting was done with a variety of colours from Gunze, Tamiya, Humbrol and more and the decals come from the kit.
