So I just think this is a cool idea, since Sword is the first to make an early F-8 nose on ANY injection molded kit, and they did a pretty good job getting the shape right too. Basically I would cut along the panel line just aft of the windscreen and graft it to the same place on the Academy F-8E. What's great about this is the RF-8 windscreen is correct for an early F-8 as well. Things like the avionics hump, landing gear, and other details would have to be solved, but the nose shape and windscreen are by far the biggest hurdle for making an early F-8. Fortunately Sword's RF-8 just might be the key.

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?

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

Fantastic build and presentation Mark. 👍 I love the display base with the mottled/splinter colors of each aircraft too. I'm still sticking with Tamiya paints though... 😉

Thanks John. I've got say even though I've just become a Fanboy of AKRC there's still a place in my heart for Tamiya Paints, they were a vast improvement over the Humbrol tinnies back in the mid to late seventies as where the kits over Airfix. 🤘🥸🤟

I may give the AKRC a try. I'm just used to how the Tamiya paints behave, dilutions that work for my airbrush, etc. If I understand correctly, the AKRC paints are also acrylic lacquers like Tamiya and Mr. Hobby so they should work with the same thinners and such. They do have a good color range compared to Tamiya for sure.

Yep. You're right John, lacquer based acrylics, as far as I can tell same formula different bottles. I did have some reservations about RLM02 1938 wether it was the right colour though. I used AK's thinners. I'd test on some plastic card with X-20 and Mr Hobby thinners to see how they behave, which I haven't done yet just ploughed on through with appropriate thinners to get the project over the line. Having said that I would still use Tamiya paints. I just got seduced by AK3G and like most affairs it did not work out well. On that note Atom and any new acrylic will be kicked into touch.🤣👍🥸🤘🥸🤟🤣

Thank you James and Rui S. Rui with my temperament installing electrics (I have problems with the 3 phase at work!) It's enough just to get them built and painted 🤣 and if you mean those discs, I was never a fan. 🤘🥸🤟

Hi Mark, None of those, I would say touch them to get them rotating and then take the photo 🤔
That is, if they are not glued ofcourse 😉

Rui. They're not that loose. Cackhanded me would probably break the propeller as the spinner describes an arc to the carpet. 🤣🤟🥸🤘🤣
