Bruno, do you plan to do the RF-8 with its quite-different fuselage?

That will be a challenge for the near future. Squared belly and thicker shoulders for area ruling.

Just to make the production line running some F-8D recolors

Did three things in building today:

1. added landing gear to one of the Crusaders
2. Tested the Greek Corsair with tiger livery
3. Showed in a few pictures how to create a "wheels up" version with the usual parts of my models

Here are the corresponding pictures.

The biggest part of my work are the recolors and upgrades of other models. Not only that, a few of my models are my own design (like my 1/400 series of carrier airplanes), but that's very low number, I do not think I'm such a good designer . Much of my edits are Brunos models, because I like the style of their design. But every time I try to upgrade my models as much as I can. E.g. Skua is not only recolored, but also added a chassis, antennas, a bomb rack, a bomb ... Reggiane series will add a new engine versions ... There is a lot of that. On every model I mention its origin, or original author, and the scope of upgrade, you can find out who I was from.
So 1/400 carrier planes "were my own child", but it's exception in my work. :-)

Thank God for the designers, recolorist and modelers;
and for keeping alive the 1/400 and 1/300 scales alive!
