I looked real hard at that but in a rare moment of restraint I stayed away because I already have 2 F-8E versions of the kit along with 20 other Crusader kits.

Haven’t done an F-8 Crusader in years.

Nice! Gotta love the Crusader :hmm:

I’m just waiting for a RF-8 in 1/48.

I also resisted buying the F-8 successfully (so far) . Don't forget the 1/72 hasegawa hellcats are on sale for $5 a pop as well so here is your chance to have a whole CV fighter wing :hmm: I successfully resisted the $5 Hasegawa P-47D sale a few weeks ago as well.
