Hi all
So as you may have seen, better late than never, I have got these two across the finish line.
I had planned to an F-8 and an A-8 but had enough spares from the F-8 to turn the A-8 into an F-8, as long as you don't pay too much attention to the canopy. Also, for my purposes, the Red 2 is a generic Red 2 from around the time of Normandy and not the 'normal' Red 2, hence the lack of winter camo.
No major dramas with either kit and any mistakes were of my own making.
The magnetic attachment points were a new thing for me, and even with the second one I had worked out a better way of adapting the plane.
They won't win any prizes but they fit the bill for my needs.
You can find the build thread HERE.
ACW as usual.
