EmperorKai Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) I know this is considerably after the fact, but I recently finished work on some software I've been working on that helps me track my modeling projects. At the completion of each of my projects, I can now generate a graphical project summary showing the colors I used and the items that were used in the completed project. It's intended to serve as a reference when I plan or work on similar projects, but I will start posting as I think it may be of some interest. I'll also post a brief summary of the aftermarket items (I always appreciate it when others do this, so I'll do the same). Here is the project summary for this build: Aires Engine: Engine burner can is for an early F-8 Crusader, but still looks great Aires wheel bays: Excellent detail, front bay needed shimming Aires cockpit: Fit great, dash for French Crusader and was modified, seat appropriate for F-8J and not used AMS Resin seat: Appropriate seat for F-8E, fit and looks fantastic. AMS Resin Mk 82 Snakeyes: Awesome set, special order G-Facter landing gear: The best landing gear set for the Crusader, nose gear tiny bit too tall but used as-is anyway. Works great with Aires bays. Rhino intake: Modified to avoid major fit issue Eduard detail sets: Used almost entire wing section set; used about half of exterior set. Contacte Resin details: No longer in production, acquired direct order from personal contact (pure luck) Victory decals: Excellent set, no issues; has markings to do additional aircraft Master Model pitot: Amazing piece Trumpeter F-8E: Good kit; nose not bulged; wing slats not really designed to be lowered; only two Zuni launchers Thanks!

EmperorKai Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 Thank you Maru- you're making me blush Their is lots of tremendous talent on this forum, and I always very much appreciate it when some of that wisdom and experience is shared- it has helped me a great deal, and I enjoy the hobby more because of it. It is my sincerest hope that I'm able to return the favor in whatever small way. Thanks again my friend! Kai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
