Vought F-8C Crusader - VF-111 "Sundowners," BuNo. 146961

Rando
Got a Muroc conversion kit today so I can make a Sundowners MiG Killer a reality! Super excited to be able to build this one.

Jos Jansen
I'll definitely reserve a seat in the front row!

Rando
Welcome Jos! Definitely know I want to build this specific jet, probably won't be starting on this one for awhile—going to first build the Hasegawa F-8E OOB so I get familiar with the build before cutting it up. Haven't quite decided which one that will be, maybe a VF-211 or 162 MiG killer, or a Marines jet from the Furball sheet.

Following, this is going to be a nice project

Oh nice Rando, I'm currently building an F/A-18E, but after that I'll start the project below. I have the same Furball decal sheet to make an F-8E Mig killer. The plan for the time being is to make the only Marines version that is available, that of VMF-212, the Lancers. I'll definitely want to follow the OOB from you...👍🏻

This will be interesting. Watching.

Rando
Yeah that's the one Jos, very cool design. I like the pineapple on the rudder too. Ahh I'm leaning towards building Tim Hubbard's MiG killer, would have an interesting load out with Zunis, and I gotta make a Checkmate Crusader at some point. Thanks everyone for the follows!
