Good looking F-8

Must admit I do find that some models appear cursed at times  :banghead:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Yeah... Had this curse too...
I'll use Tamiya Base Coat again...even if the color layer will be microns thicker. At least the color would stick...

Great looking F-8 indeed!

:thumbsup:
The carpet monster took it!

The F-4T I presume?  nicknamed the 'Tapir' by all who flew it because of the radome shape?  ;)

Actually his name was Gordon Schumway, at least back on his home planet. ALF was what he was called here on good old Earth..  Why yes! I did watch it when I was much younger, but the cartoon was cooler!!!!

I'm applying the decals on the Phantom.

but this is the effect of the Gunze Mr. Mark Setter on the my little homemade decal:

I find that using almost any decal setting stuff on home printed decals is a recipe for disaster.  :banghead:

Just water with a touch of washing-up liquid does the job for me.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

And this is the last part:








The couple of victims... one has lost the backseat and one engine, one has earned an additional engine.... I'm terrible

That's intriguing, your brain tells you it must be some sort of a Phantom but your eyes tell you it isn't.  ;)

Excellent build and a great finish on it too, nice one.  :thumbsup: :bow:
