Hello All, This is
my first submissions to ARC. It is the Trumpeter 1/32 F-8E Crusader that I
finished few weeks ago. I can't say enough about the kit. I really like the
subject and the kit went together very well.

I back dated the kit
to F-8C with help of Paul Fishers F-8C conversion. Superb and simple conversion.
All I did was cut along the existing panel lines and inserted the nose in.
Hardly any putty was used. I dressed up the cockpit with Black Box resin cockpit
set and used the Eduard photo-etch to enhance the interior and exterior. Tamiya
paints were used through out the build. The wooden base was build by the owner
of a local model store were kit was purchased. The photographs were taken by my
friend Mike Singh. Over all, I had fun build this model and it is a great
addition to my collection.
Best wishes and
happy modeling,
Tom Crayne
