Vought F-8J Crusader

Échelle:: 1:72
Statut:: Terminé
Commencé:: March 1, 2015
Terminé:: April 11, 2015

Nothing too fancy here, I'll add the resin cockpit and drop the slats and flaps for the raised wing. For the markings, I'll use the VF-302 "Stallions" markings from NAS Miramar in 1972. This is available on a decal sheet from Xtradecal.

Menacing, yet sleek. What's not to like about the F-8?

I will be watching this one. Have the kit but not the cockpit set. Love Bicentennial stuff

Beautiful kit - when I bought it and started to fondle the sprues, I immediately grabbed my old Revell F-8 (the Kangnam kit I think) and tossed it right in the trash! Technically, the Aires cockpit is for an F-8E, and I'm modelling the F-8J. But I won't tell anybody if you won't. 🙂

I had a major "oops" moment last night. I had finished the detail painting of the cockpit and sidewalls, and I applied several coats of Future in preparation for the wash. I used my normal wash made from artist's acrylics, but I wasn't able to remove any of the excess when it was dry. 🙁
Normally, for a cockpit I used use a cotton swab to remove the excess, but it was on there for good. My only guess is that the Future wasn't completely dry, and it and the wash mixed together somehow. Anyway, tonight we'll paint the pit all grey again and start over! I think I'll use a lacquer based gloss, like Alclad or Floquil. 🙂
