Completed: French Navy F-8 Crusader

Completed: Revell's F-8 Crusader 1/48

This Revell's F-8 Crusader in the markings of a French Navy aircraft. 

This kit was built mostly out of the box but the main landing gear was to lengthen to prevent the kit from looking like a tail sitter and to rescribe the panel lines. 

The kit decals were used and went on well with Miro-Sol. Gunze-Sangyo paints were used to paint the model and a few coats of Testor’s Dullcoat was used to finish up the model.
