I ultimately finished the F-8E Crusader build moving in slow motion. With my work schedule lately, I’ve been fighting for quality build time.
The build went well aside from some fitting issues with the fuselage. Academy produced a great kit with fine details. The abundance of parts keeps you busy throughout the build. The decals were another bright spot. They released quick and responded well to decal set.
Time was truly my enemy during this build. It seemed like I couldn’t get ahead at times. I’m glad I kept moving forward to complete my first build of 2014.
I always appreciate your posts. The detail in these is amazing and something I could never do.

This kit has been patiently waiting for a while to be built. I finally got around to it. The F-8 is such a sleek design.
