TheRealMrEd Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 For those who might be interested :BUILD THREAD Here are the finished pictures of my 1/72 scale Muroc Models F-8C conversion of the Academy F-8E kit, with raised wing and dropped flaps and slats: Had a few little glitches here and there, but I'm glad to have it in the collection! Thanks for looking in... Ed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 Very cool looking Trip-Trey Crusader! Did the conversion or kit come with the raised wing and off set flaps and slats, or did you do that work yourself? Certainly adds to the coolness of your build! Thanks for posting!

TheRealMrEd Posted October 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Hi Gil, No the conversion kit came with only the nose, canopy, a new launch bridle attachment point and some decals. The wing, etc. rework was first done with the kit parts, as I was only going to do the flaps, etc. When I finally decided to do this aircraft, the wing tips looked so cool that I just had to raise them, and used the Wolfpack designs conversion kit for that. But, the Wolfpack kit didn't want you to raise the wings, so I had to modify them also. Everything is explained in the build thread, linked to in the first sentence above.
