Revell 1/48 F-8 Crusader

[Jonny2174]

Hello all,

Just got my newest kit, Revell 48 Crusader. Not a bad kit. I immediately got started with the cockpit, but ran out of olive drab. Also still need to figure out if I will paint the ejection seat dark gray or black.

The wings went together fairly well with the exception of a large gap on the port underside, where the hinge would supposedly be located. But no biggie, most people won't see the underside anyways.

Also for this project, I am using spray cans instead of hand brushing. Thanks to Will at the museum who gave me the idea. After all, Crusaders really are only two colors.

Also, this is my very first attempt at pre-shading. I don't have an airbrush, so I hand brushed it, and I am nervous at what might come out of it.

Thanks for reading! I'll update this post as I progress through the kit.
