When you fool someone with a model, it's a good sign! Really nice model and final presentation! Good work!

Wow. I thought the first was the kit box photo of the real thing. The glint off the canopy and contrails look amazing.

Fantastic photo!

Thanks,

John

Hi, this is my recent build, a 1/72 F-8 Crusader from Esci. Decals are from Blue Diamond Decals. I modified the nose cone to make it more flat on the side by gently pinching it and sanded the curves to make it more straight, also added the radar blister on the vertical fin. I photographed it outside and using the sun as my light source to make it realistic then super imposed it to my photos of places which I took while flying.
