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

Danumurthi Mahendra
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.

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

awesome work!

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.

Album info

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.
