Thanks guys,

Yeah PJ, that would be cool. I want to look for a 1/48 scale. The F-8 and F-100 are my favorite jet fighters.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Again Steve, fantabulous job on that small scale. The paint, weathering, decals and details are tops. Beer

When the Angels rotated out of Nam and were stationed in Hawaii, they transitioned to the F-4J. I did this one not long ago and would look very cool if both were together though mine is 1/48.

Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!

Very nice! That's a great scheme on an F-8. The weathering looks just right. Tom

I just completed my F-8 Crusader the ‘Death Angles”. This was a nice kit with a good fit and nice detail. I painted it using MM enamels, and oil pin wash for the panel lines and watered down pastels for a sludge wash.
