My Eduard 1/48 F-8E now has a scheme! :smiley:



Although The 1st, 2nd, 5th & 6th schemes I like! 8)



Especially the 2nd & 5th, from a practical viewpoint, but with blue-greys instead of the darkest & lightest "main-pattern" greys (not including the pale separator line).


Love the 'Cat, too, but my version of the RAN isn't going into the super-carrier business (not far short but not quite there). :))

The RAAF, however, may end up with them to go with their F-15's & F-16's. ;)

That's quite a temptation, but I'd build it as the originally-proposed F-14B with F401 engines; giving commonality with the F100-powered F-15s, and F-16s, in RAAF service.

Catapult length and power, arrestor gear capacity and run out (or what ever the term is) and deck strength?  Anything else anyone can think of?
