I used to work for a guy that 2K+ carrier launches on the gunfighter. Interestingly per him the F8 was used to develop the swing wings and the Phoenix missile for the F14, for which he was a test pilot in his later career

Neat build!

YEAH! What Pup said!!

Hey, it's real!

I did find a Microscale sheet on eBay w/ the insignias. So hopefully I'll have some new markings on the way soon. Awaiting a total as they also had a set of Microscale W. German Luftwaffe Letters & Numbers that I was keen to grab.

What carnage, it's looking good!

 

[helios]

It's just weathering, right?

You don't ask your friends for help? Tsk tsk. You learn a lot more from failure than success. Gunfighter on, Baby!

Call it a personality fault. For better or worse, I always try to solve issues myself. I hate inconveniencing others for stuff I feel like I should be able to handle myself.
