F-8J Crusader

Monogram 1/48th scale(Converted from type-E)
VF-191 CAG "Feed Bag #100"
(Jun,1974,CVW-19)

I was surprised by Hasegawa's announcement about new items in fall 2002,
because those included the F-8E 1/48 new scale kit. of course, it is welcome thing.
but, Hasegawa's Crusader kit will deprive of existence value Monogram's.
It become big problem for my not few Monogram's F-8 stocks.

I never want all the stocks going off.
The best way might be "to build up all of remainder before Hasegawa's come".
If I have much time ...

I was not able to do something except to build this example.

This finished model is the requiem of Monogram's Crusaders.

The Converted points as type J from type E.

• The appended line as "Double hinged leading edge droop".
  
• The larger horizontal stabilator.
  
• The appended ECM fairing on the tail.
  
• This example's cockpit was detailed by "Black Box(TM)(V.M.D.Studios,Inc)" resin parts.
