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.
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. [...]
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," [...]
1/48 Hasegawa F-8E Crusader #2
Here's another of my collection of F-8 Crusaders, a 1/48 Hasegawa F-8E Crusader. I finished it in the markings of a jet flown by VF-162 commanding officer CDR. Richard Bellinger from USS Oriskany, when he downed the Navy's first MiG-21 of [...]
1:48 Monogram F8J Crusader

1/48 Hasegawa F-8E MiG-killer
Here's one of my collection of US Navy MiG-killers, a 1/48 Hasegawa F-8E Crusader. I finished it in the markings of 'Nickel 103', an F-8E from VF-211 off USS Hancock, flown by Cmdr. Hal Marr. He shot down a MiG-17 on 12 June 1966, which [...]
1/48 Monogram F-8E Crusader, converted to a DF-8A
Here's my attempt at backdating the 1/48 Monogram F-8E Crusader into a DF-8A drone controller/utility aircraft from the Naval Missile Center at Point Mugu, California during the late '60's-early '70's. I started this project ten years ago, [...]
1/48 Monogram F-8H VF-111 Sharkmouth
Hi all, it has been quite a while since I last posted.
I hope you enjoy my F-8H conversion of the Monogram 1/48 F-8E. I used pictures I took of a Crusader at the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL. The earlier models of Crusader had a [...]
Trumpeter 1/32 F-8E Crusader
The F-8 Crusader is about as "modern" as I get with jets, and it's my personal favorite "modern" jet. I personally think the Trumpeter Crusader is the best kit of this airplane anyone has done. It is the only one that [...]
