1/48 Hasegawa F-8E Crusader

--------------------

 

I built this model using Eduard Photo Etch set and Cutting Edge decals.  The kit went together well with the only problem area being dropped slats and flaps as they don't fit very well.  Otherwise a very nice model.

I weathered my model using oil wash and pastel chalks.

It represents an F-8E flown by Cdr Paul Speer from VF-211 aboard USS Bon Homme Richard.  He scored a MiG-17 kill on 19 May 1967.

This is my first article on ARC and I hope that my Crusader meets the standards of this great website.

Happy modelling!
