Your F-8 with all that AM looks to be quite epic. You certainly have my attention. You've done some right nice work so far getting all that resin in. Looks sharp.

Filling gaps
Started cutting out the sections for the resin Air brake
Here the air brake and rear wheel bay installed And a quick look at all the after market instaled before closing it up. Not pictured, but I did put a weight in behind the intake. I also painted the intake fans and installed but unfortuanatly no pictures. Test fitting before drying. Unfortuanatly the upper resin piece sliped while drying at the rear and I didnt notice until it dried. It'll be fine though as the wing pivots there and you won see it. All closed up now and started the modifications. Removed the hump on the main fuselage.

Hello all. Gonna be my first wip here. Hopefully Ill update it consistantly. It's kind of a pain posting pictures. I'm trying to get this done in time for IPMS Texas in Austin in September. Join me on this adventure while I try. This is one of my favorite planes so lets go.
Here is a list of aftermarket parts and things to do. Convert from a J to a K. This intails removing a hump on the back and reshaping the nose. I have resin pieces for the wheel bays one piece air intake, resin cockpit, resin engine and rear intakes and aftermarket decals.
The kit. There are no kits of early F8's and I couldnt get my hands on a conversion kit
Got to remove the interior detil first. Before After One piece intake Cut out Both the one pice intake and the resin cockpit had to sanded down to fit. Was ery careful not to sand through each other. I knew there was enough room because I did one in the past where I also had open gun bays. Now that one was tight!
