Trumpeter 1/32nd scale F-8E Crusader

[Bradley25mm]

      After getting some other projects out of the way, I decided to finally tackle this one. The kit itself went together very well without any issues. I was pleasantly surprised to see how detailed the gear bays were. I added  Aires cockpit ,Reskit wheels, PJ Productions resin pilot, and SAC metal landing gear.

       Everything was pre/post shaded using Tamiya Acrylics. I took a different approach to the base. I normally use sandpaper to simulate the surface. Because the original decking was constructed of planks, and later covered with a non slip surface, I used plastic sheet with strips cut into it so that you could see the planks through the new surface.

Any feedback is much appreciated.
 

Cheers
