They look really great! I have to say, the F-8 is one fine looking aircraft and your models definitely do them justice. I cannot wait to see them with decals! About ghost seams, I have seen them appearing on my models weeks after they are finished. I guess it's the cement seam cracking a little bit because of tensions in the plastic, but I have long since stopped worrying about it.

Thanks Thomas! I appreciate that, I'm super anxious to start the decals myself, going to be the most rewarding part of the whole project. Still had some touchups and wanted to paint the leading edges of the flight surfaces with flat aluminum to represent Coroguard. Clear coats go on *I hope* tonight.
Gotta say, building two planes at once sure is a different kind of challenge and test of your patience. It's fortunate that they are mostly the same, but it's still time consuming to do everything twice. I spent at least an hour masking off the leading edges and it took all of five minutes to paint! Probably won't be doing a double build again for quite awhile.

Thanks for the interest gents! That ESCI kit's decals at least might end up being good for something

This is one hell of a sheet. Ton of unique options, I like the Saints one myself

Stash & HaulsI'm confused about how they made this decal sheet. The red "T" shape at the top of the tail seems to be incompletely pro...

I've noticed something frustrating about this Aeromaster decal sheet. There's a section of red missing from the "T" shape on the F-8H option. It looks like only the black outlines have been provided and so the only option appears to fill it in somehow, be it paint or spare decal? Either way, I feel like it would be really challenging to get the color to match perfectly. Has anyone built this or done something similar? Is there something I'm missing here? It's a shame because this is a really cool option I'd like to build but I'd only do it if I felt like I could match the decal color perfectly.

CAT4 1:48 F-8 Crusader conversion - first look1:48
The manufacturer issued this correction for the nose. Hopefully it works

CAT4 coming to the rescue with what seems like a nice set of parts that can backdate the Hasegawa F-8E. While we all really want a full kit tooled by someone, getting conversion kits is the next best thing, and the ones out there are all but impossible to obtain, and none of them really capture the shape of the nose very well. Not anymore, for the moment at least. Tonight I got a good look at the nose shape of the new kit and find it compares well to reference photos. Next up is seeing how it fits on the F-8 fuselage, which means some plastic surgery.

Added some more photos comparing the kits with 1:48 F-8C scale drawings from the Muroc kit. So far I like the overall shape, but the front plate where the radome connects makes the nose a little too long overall. Might just need to shave it down and blend the shape some.

Basically done! Aside from the rigging wire, which I will attach when it gets in. After that I'll upload the beauty shots. Now to clean up my very messy workbench and get the next project going!
