Category: 2 – Intermediate
Scale: 1/48

Model Type: F-8E Crusader converted to an RF-8A (F8U-1P) - unarmed photo-reconnaissance version.

My sincere thanks to Cory (Catch22) for the Squadron Signal Walk Around book, it was invaluable and contributed greatly to this build.

This has been an interesting build for me as it was part kit with loads of resin parts and some surgery.

Many thanks to you Dan, Tony and Karl. The base was inspired by a number I have seen here on the forum and the grass that was purchased at the Model Expo.
