Haha how many crusaders and voodoos can a man have ??? 🤣

Answer = Not enough

Looks like my phantom stash… 38 and counting 😵

Rando
Hahah yes I certainly have some specific interests! Not pictured are five conversion kits I've collected between the two planes so far, and a box of Voodoo aftermarket.

And 38, wow. I imagine you've built quite a few more, what's your pick for who makes the best one? I heard the recent Tamiya release was among the best models ever kitted.

David H
Sorry for the late answer. TBH , they all have their ups and downs. The Hase is getting old and lacks detail but still renders a good likeness. Best for me is the Zoukei mura kit. It's just personal as the Tamiya kit is fantastic as well. I actually quite like the old italeri kit as a base for a decent model. It's cheaper than the Hase and the savings can't be spent on useful resin parts. Academy has taken the place of Hase as the go to for a decent well priced kit.

Following; there are a lot of F8-E Crusaders!!

Rando
Oh yeah hahah, I'd like to know if other modelers have a singular obsession with a specific subject like I do with the Crusader. Maybe it was because it had its own episode on Dogfights and featured a lot on Area 88. It's just a unique and aesthetically pleasing fighter jet. The Sword RF-8 release got me more into building some 1/72 scale so I'm getting a couple Academy kits and decals too.

Great idea about the watch pins! ⌚ Definitely gonna try this out on my builds. Looking forward to the finished result.

Mr D
Hi Edouard👋😀👍.
Yes l just get cheap ones of eBay, the do different sizes, you can pull ends n spring out for barrel look, or file ends last to have a recoil cannon look.
The gun turret nearly there now....lots of sanding n filling low spot.
Thanks for looking in on build.👍👍

Perfect walnut inserts, great job with the interior!

Jaaaaaaaag, following!

David Orr
Thanks guys. The walnut looks better in the flesh than in the photos. I like how it came out and it was easier to do than I was expecting. I had an XJ40 for about 14 years, and the wood looked almost the same as this.
