I got this kit for a reduced price on a flea-market - due to the fact that the cockpit and seat were missing. The former owner spoiled it or put it aside - I don't know exactly. But it wouldn't be me not taking this challenge. Lets go and scratch an Eurofighther cockpit...

Interesting challenge

Hi mates - thank you for your nice words on my scratch work. Time consuming - but It came along nicely and better than I did expect.

Welcome. No worries - it's summertime again (progress is slow ... 😉 )

Harry Eder
Nice scratched cockpit! Watching with interest! 👍

Rando
Awesome 👍 how will you do the decals?

Tom Spiegelberg
Good question. The serial numbers are on the Furball Mig Master decal sheet. The other decals will come from other decal sheets and will also be painted.
The conversion kit from CAT4 looks great and is a big help for these project. It´s better than die Cutting Edge conversion kit.

Rando
That's awesome. CAT4 also released a decal sheet for a VF-32 F-8D, maybe possible you could use that one. I'm cobbling together decals from the kit and Furball sheet on my RF-8 right now, I totally appreciate that creativity. I myself am super stoked about the CAT4 kit, gonna backdate so many Crusaders.

I also orderd the decal sheet from CAT4. The F-8D version on the sheet is great! Today I cut the wing top from the kit and made a test fitting with the new wing top from CAT4.The fitting is great. Much more better than the wing top from Cutting Edge. I also want to make a RF-8a from the USS Saratoga.
I´ll take some photos from the sets during the next days.

Rando
Can't wait to see. What do you think of the nose shape? I ordered their sheets too.

Tom Spiegelberg
I think that the nose shape is correct. I just ordered the new Vought ejection seat from CAT4 for my Crusader. After my holydays I can start my build.
