LSP_K2 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I thought now would be a good time to start my Revell kit, as it's been beckoning to me since I received it. This, in conjunction with a Trumpeter MiG-15, will be (I hope) two of my entries in the convention in Omaha next year. The hunt has already commenced for some suitable AM for it, probably basic stuff though, as kit appears to be pretty darned nice as is. D.B.

LSP_K2 Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 To be right (in my view), the F-8 is really not complete without weapons, so I've assembled five of the kit bombs for it. mpk and sandokan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 Wing assembly is proceeding OK, with some of the guts now being added. Overall, fit seems to be real good so far. hworth18, MikeC, sandokan and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloorwestSiR Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Nice to see one of these built. I have the Hasegawa A8 to build at dinner point so it'll be good to see the comparison between the two. Carl mpk and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Shaping up nicely, and quickly. Those bomb fins look out of the 70's. Sincerely, Mark mpk and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Interesting that you say that, as I also have an A-8 Hasegawa kit here, just spotted it a few days ago. Perhaps I can do a few side by side comparison photos. I'll give that some thought.

LSP_K2 Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 Looks like I goofed, big time. What I thought was the A-8, was in fact the F-8, and it, unfortunately, only contains the remnants of this project, most of which was lost in my move a couple of years ago; so no fuselage, tail surfaces, wings or the Eagle Parts 'pit set. mpk, Rick Griewski and sandokan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
