“Le Crouze” – the last Crusader
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
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
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
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 F-8E Crusader
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 [...]
Monogram 1/48 F-8E Crusader…
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. [...]
Revell 1/48 F8E Crusader
Another recent Revell re-box of an old Monogram kit, and the result of an urge on my part to discover jets and venture into post WWII aviation modeling. One of my search parameters was that ten dollars was all I would pay-and they'd all be [...]
Monogram 1/48 F-8E Crusader
This Crusader is of "Double Nuts" flown by CAG of CVW-5 aboard USS Hancock (CVA-19) in 1966.
The kit is a 1/48 Monogram F-8E. I dropped the flying surfaces and raised the wing section. I also used AeroMaster decals," [...]
The F-8E(fn) Crusader in French service 1/48 Hasegawa
Hello everyone,
To continue my little series 2004-2005, I present the F-8E (FN) Crusader 1/48 Hasegawa. This model represents this great American fighter early in his career with the French Navy and specifically in testing missile Matra [...]
A Tribute to Steve McQueen
This model started life as a 1/12th Revell "Crusader" custom chopper. Using my 1/18th Porsche 917, Steve McQueen Le Mans version (die cast) as an inspiration, I got the idea to transfer it to a chopper as a [...]
