Hi friends three months later I'm finally painting the damn things. Here's my current take on preshading, blackbasing, what have you. Gave the white areas a white base that I preshaded with dark gull grey. Then mottled the black with white for some variation with the light gull grey. Elsewhere I built the missiles, launch rails, and painting the horizontal stabs.

Coming along nicely! Your blackbasing tedhnique looks very effective, I am curious how they will turn out!

Hi 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?

CAT4 1:48 F-8 Crusader conversion - first look![View album, image #14 View album, image #14](/albums/img/1/4/9/1751149-121979-87-720.jpg)

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!

Hans 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.

Thanks 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 😄
