phantom Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Was going through the stash looking for something F-18ish when I cam e across a started Crusader. Figure its another DonG started and traded to me a couple years ago. So with a month left in this GB I should be able to get it done. Only problem is it will be spare decals and paint. No complete decals exist for any of the 4 F-8s I still want to do. As of now its either going to be VF-13, VF-162, VF-661 or VF-931. All from CVW-8.

john53 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) What scale? I have F-8 decals in the stash from an unbuilt 1/48th kit.---John Edited May 25, 2015 by john53 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DONG Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 If it came from me it's 1/48. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 Thanks for the offer John. All the planned schemes are easy to paint. If you have 1/48 decals for VF-162 however that would help. Just the "AJ" letters on the tail that are the challenge. Have all the data decals I need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I have Aero Master 48-563 Colorful Crusaders Pt V. two numbers missing,58 from VF-58. Other than that the sheet is in tact, has AJ and AK tail codes. Yours for the asking.--- John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Oh I loved 'Saders'! This should be fun to watch. Regards, Don. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 Put the wings on....Next off should be Saturday. Going with VF-13. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Its Saturday, did a bunch of cleaning and 2 hours of decals. All are from the big stash of unused extras. Guess what, adding this to that and you can make the markings for a plane now one has ever made decals for. VF-13 in 1970. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Boy the Crusader sure was a nice looking aircraft. Great looking 'Sader' :thumbsup:/> ! Regards, Don. Edited June 2, 2015 by Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
