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

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 [...]
