Chance Vought
F-8C Crusader
This is my F-8C
Crusader that I've recently finished. I used the old Monogram F-8 Crusader
kit with a Cobra Company conversion kit and
the decals are from a Cutting Edge sheet for VF-84. The conversion kit allows
you to make any of the earlier versions of the F-8. It includes
a new nose, later ejection seat, under wing center section, new wing with flaps
and slats and new metal landing gear to correct
the sit of the kit. The kit was painted with Model Master paints and a flat
coating was used for a final finish.

If you wish to
do this conversion, there is one out by Cutting Edge and it uses the
Hasegawa F-8 Crusader for the base kit.
