Stef (#6) Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Hello every boy, It's been a looong time I didn't post anything, but that because I'm a very slow builder ... here is my attempt at making a French Navy Crusader, the complete name is F-8E FN (P). P stand for "Prolongé", prolongated ... New ejection seat, various aerials (one behind the cokcpit just went awol during photo session), the new Sherlock threat detector atop tail, Etc. Paints are Gunze acryls, and the lovely Aires Matra 55 Magic missiles. This peticular aircraft saw action during the Yougoslavia CAP operations. Hope yu'll like her, all comments and critics most welcome. Best, Stef (#6) Click images to enlarge, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Very nice. I have always liked the look of the French F-8s in the dark blue-grey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AD-4N Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Excellent weathering. Made shades of blue and gray going on. Perfect. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tato Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Excellent build!! Pardon my ignorance, but what are the differences between the French Crusader and a regular US Navy one? Thanks! Best regards, Tato Quote Link to post Share on other sites
