Anyone built the Hasegawa F-8 E?

Cheers Fred, i noticed that the holes have different spacings, and that the pylons location pins were different
, but.. the pylons are still mounted asymetrically. Be Reet, as they say.

What do you do with 0.8 of a Crusader?...

You build a variable incidence SLUF.

Surely the pylons are symmetrical...
...unless you put them on backwards/upsidedown*?

*obviously the term "backwards/upsidedown" implies the acceptance of a specific alignment paradigm.  You may of course choose to subvert the dominant paradigm and replace it with your own.

It appears that you have rotated your pylons by 180 degrees compared to how Hasegawa intended them to be fitted.
The missile rails moulded with the hardpoints are the lower rails.
In my photo of the pylons below, the front is to the right.

What you have done is not wrong, just not what Hasegawa intended.

Sounds about right for me that does. See, I wiff stuff whether I want to or not.
