“Le Crouze” – the last Crusader

by Tom Cleaver on August 1, 2014 · in Aviation · 5 ≡

Here is the Hasegawa F-8E Crusader modified to be an F-8E(FN)/F-8P, using the Cutting Edge slats and flaps, dive brake, and cockpit, with decals from MDC. By 1962, the Marine Nationale was undergoing rapid modernization, with two new [...]

Monograms 1/48th Ling Temco F-8E Crusader, USN, Vietnam

by Chuck A. Villanueva on August 1, 2014 · in Aviation · 25 ≡

So to add another Crusader to the mix. This one is using the Kendall wing fold set and cockpit upgrade set. The only thing I didn't do was adjust the incorrect stance of the main gear. I configured this for a ground attack mission. My [...]

OK, I’ll play along! Monogram 1/48 scale F-8 Crusader

by Ramon R. Lomeli on July 31, 2014 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

Inspired by the last few posts, here is my Monogram 1/48 scale F-8 Crusader. I used the Cobra Company landing gear set and resin ejection seat, some foil from a wine bottle to make a simple seatbelt harness and I used stock decals that [...]

Another 48th Scale Monogram F-8 Fan

by Jack Mugan on July 31, 2014 · in Aviation · 19 ≡

I bult this model some time ago, but it is still one of my favorites. The panel lines are pencil and the kit is built basically out of the box. Lots of decal work and some light weathering. The seat is resin.

1/48 Firefly FR.4

by John Healy on July 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 23 ≡

This is the recent Special Hobby kit finished as a Dutch Navy example based in New Guinea. These were the last Fireflies in service anywhere, and were replaced by Hawker Hunters in 1962. The model assembles extremely well and really puts [...]

1/48 F-8E Crusader

by John Healy on July 30, 2014 · in Aviation · 13 ≡

Robert Bausch's nice Crusader posted a few days back inspired me to post mine. We did the exact same thing, Esci decals on a Monogram Crusader. I added a lot of stencils too, from an old Microscale F-8 sheet. I remember shortening the [...]

Tamiya 1/48 FM-2 conversion

by Dan DeSilva on July 28, 2014 · in Aviation · 31 ≡

Hi all, I have finally finished my conversion of a Tamiya 1/48 F4F-4 into an FM2. I used the Vector conversion set. While intended for the HobbyBoss Wildcat kits, I had a pile of Tamiya kits I had already put aside before the HB kit came [...]

Monogram 1/48 Me262

by Dan DeSilva on July 28, 2014 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

Here is a kit that has languished half built for about 6 years or so. I finally put a push on completing it early this year and while completed a month ago, I didn't have time to try and post it until now. It is what you find in the kit [...]

Monogram 1/48 F-8E Crusader…

by Robert Bausch on July 25, 2014 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

The Vought F-8 Crusader has always been a favorite of mine. It has to me some of the same classic look as the Hawker Hunter does. And it was one of the greatest Navy fighters ever, a fitting jet descendant of the famous Vought F4U Corsair. [...]
