Monogram 1/48 F-8E, MiG-killing Crusader
My latest effort is the old, but solid, Monogram 1/48 F-8E Crusader.

OK... my latest attempt at dirtying armor.
Used most of the Hauler P-E set... the jerry can straps were really "fun". Also used an RB turned aluminum barrel, Aber "feelers" (? dunno what they're called) and added [...]
FAA Skyraider Mk.1 & Tow Tractor.
This is a What-if I made a couple of years ago in the markings of a Royal Navy, Fleet Air Arm Skyraider.
The Royal Navy had in fact, operated the AD-4W early warning Skyraider, designated AEW.1 and flown by 849 Naval Air Squadron during [...]
