Let me say this in advance: i don't know squat about airplanes and naming components. All i can do for the most part is associate names to planes. SO.. anyways.. Picked up the 1/48 monogram F-8 Crusader for 5 bucks. I just opened the box today and saw a complete kit plus half of another for spare parts, plus it included all of the resin and photo etch parts! I barely started today, but it's progress none-the-less. Cockpit tub started with a blueish gray airbrushed, then an oil based black followed up with dry brushing silver to give it the worn look. Then i finished up some of the buttons in red and black using reference photos online. Had to fabricate the throttle control. Kit version of the cockpit tub: Resin comparison: and among the side inner walls, there's some photo etch pieces My goal is to try and not get intricately detailed, but to have fun and try something new. I know there's more to detail paint in the cockpit tub, and the inner walls, but i'll take care of it.
