Thank you all. Academy kits of late are getting better with improved Cartograf decals. Makes all the difference!

Great model, Danumurthi!👍
Very accurate. The shading is phantastic. Only the panel lines appear a little bit overdone to me.

Great build, maybe the wash is bit too dark as Ulf already mentioned, but it still looks v.well

Agree with the panel lines. its a bit too overwhelming. I should have done it with med/dark grey rather than black.

perhaps looks a bit too "cartoonish" with all the shading and dark wash, but in a good way. I like it. It looks like a kit which you would use to attract youngsters to modelling. It looks so badass with that sharkmouth and rockets on the sides etc.
Alltogether very crisp and clean. I love the yellow window outlines.

😮 Oh, yes! Black is an extreme choice for the panel lines washing. Grey would be a better idea indeed - next time! 😉

Vladimir and Ulf - Thanks. Would love to work on another one to to try a different approach and see how different it will be. By the way... I cheated...the yellow window lines are decals included in the kit. Very thin and percise.

This is absolutely a gorgeous kit. The F-8E Crusader is really tiny but you gotta see some of the details that Academy puts into this. and the Cartograf decals really makes the building experience a pleasant one. First time I used the combination of Mr. Mark Setter and Mr. Mark Softer. Very powerful stuff. It was really worth it. I will try again so to know if the results are consistent.
