Hasegawa 1/72 F-8E port stabilizer, 4 Sidewinder AIM-9Bs, Martin Baker Mk-F7 ejection seat
We're getting close to finishing this, finally. I've manufactured a new stabilizer to replace the one I lost (!), I've filed down the fins on 4 Sidewinders and I'm painting them. I have to identify the mounting points for the "Y" racks and attach them and then install the missiles. Because of the refueling probe fairing, all four of the missiles are rolled to slightly different orientations The seat has been through a lot, and I think it will look reasonably like a 1/72 MB Mk-F7. We'll see.
Not shown here are the canopy and windscreen that need to be finished (yellow decal inside the edges of the windows..., the arresting hook (black and white) and a few other bits and pieces.
