I was not referencing your available time or work / hobby priorities. Just commenting on the rapidity of your release announcements, especially since most of us didn't have these on our radar scopes. Keep up the good work. Now the rest of us can get back to the modeling salt mines. We have some kits to build! K/r, Dutch Edited April 17, 2020 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Niels Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Kursad, Would it be an idea to combine the RF-8 with some F-8E/J's from VFP-63? Few decals out there for the gun nosed version flying with VFP-63? Edited April 17, 2020 by Niels Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Well more good news. I have the Wareagle RF-8 vac conversion so these would come in handy. My vac comes with decals but they are OLD. I think I picked up this around 1983. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D. Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hot Damn! I got one resin and one vac conversion, where is the sign up sheet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ghostbase Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I saw the title and I got really excited, the RF-8A/G is the final aircraft on my 1/48th wish list for a mainstream injection moulded kit! The last was the RF-101C Voodoo. Sadly my modelling skills are not really up to conversions or vacforms however I would still buy a set of these decals when they get to Hannants. You know, 'just in case' 😉 Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Michael, There is hope! Several times in the past few years when Kursad has announced a decal for a previously un-kitted aircraft, someone goes and produces one within a short period. You may very well be in luck! 😎 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keroburner89 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Man I am so excited about this! Any idea of time frames and if I need to sign up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Alright, alright, alright... I'm guessing any RF-8 sheet is going to have VFP-62 from the "Cuban Missile Crisis". Here are a few details ya don't want to miss...though I'm sure you're up there on the research. But just in case...Smile! I love this one...good stuff 😂 Then of course there's the cooked chickens: Finally, the squadron was awarded a peacetime Navy Unit Commendation (NUC) from President Kennedy and they painted the ribbon on the nose: Looking forward to the sheet...now maybe Hasegawa will step up and continue the F-8 line. 😕 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Petrov27 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) VFP-62 also had this nice sharkmouth from a little earlier when they were on the Shangri-La Edited April 19, 2020 by Petrov27 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) The Cuban Missile Crisis entry was a blast from the past. I have a good friend whose uncle was one of two Marine pilots attached to the VMCJ-2 Det at GITMO. I only met him once around 1993. He was in his 60s then. I wonder if he is still alive. I will contact my friend and see if she has any photos or other material. K/r, Dutch Edited November 11, 2022 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
