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

RandoCAT4 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.

RandoAdded 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.

RandoHi guys! Sergej that one will be 1/48 as I have the decals in that scale. Unsure at this point but there's a bunch of VF-24 jets that are great choices. Also there's Dick Schaffert's too
I got the CAT4 conversions for 1/48 coming in the mail. If they turn out to be good sets I have a few jets in mind including VF-84, since who can resist those flames?

RandoBasically 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!

John BallmanHans just saw your Crusader on Modeling Madness, awesome build. You really did a superb job on that old Monogram kit, I think you can graduate to better kits now.
Respectfully,
John B.

RandoThanks John and Tommy! Your praise means a lot, and it was cool to see it featured by Scott. And yeah it'll be awhile before I build another one of these for sure 😄

RandoAnyone have a good source for 1/72 Vietnam-era US Navy pilots? Seems like my best bet so far is to scrounge through older kits, not finding much

Alex KNot sure if you'll find exactly what you're looking for, but do take a look at Reedoak SCM Brand: Reedoak

MariusHi Rando, unfortunately that's a subject surprisingly badly represented in 1:72. Still, we have this one here
US NAVY Pilot with bag - Vie..73 (Aerobonus 720 028, 1:72)
But it's just one pose. You can buy two or more and slightly alter the pose.

RandoThanks Marius, so it's not just me—really is because nobody makes it! It's too bad since I just need two figures that are seated, the most basic modeling pilot pose, lol. I'll probably just have to buy a few cheap 1/72 kits that I know have pilot figures so I can build what I have in mind, since idk if I can alter that resin figure that much.

RandoNear future build of a special plane I would always see when I was a kid driving with my dad down I-5. He would always point out the Voodoo at Camp Murray. I was thrilled to learn that Caracal makes a near-perfect decal set to build this particular plane. Today I received custom decals for the specific aircraft number and name stencils, thanks to a kind gentleman on ARC forums. My plan is to build this as a diorama of the static display, concrete pedestal and all. Thank you Buckmeister for making this happen!

RandoGlad to hear! I sought out a set with the camo on black, just looks really cool, and interesting history too.

RandoThank you Neil and Robert! Yes this was all done on a whim when a friend I was visiting in Texas wanted to build models together, so I hastily picked this one. I love the Lightning too, want to build it in 1/48 someday, but this one was fun for gaining confidence with masking especially. Can't say I will be again using Mission Models for painting full exteriors of a plane though, too brittle even with the poly. Gunze Aq for the red and white was so much better.
