The recent 2006
National Scale Modelling Competition here in the Philippines has recently
concluded. My entry for this event was a Philippine Air Force F-8H Crusader, the
base kit was Academy's 72nd F-8E"modified" to an F-8H. The only
modification I really did was the ECM pod on the tail (extended it) and the
home-made decals. The Academy kit is a beaut! Value for money. Amazing
details, good fit, affordable price. I did research on this kit and asked
help from my fellow IPMS buddies, thanks a lot guys! The build was really fun,
especially the researching. Going around the actual PAF birds, reading about
'em, looking at pictures. I loved this build so much! Thanks also to my dad for
helping me with everything. This kit is F-8H Crusader number 310, serial
48696 of the 7th Tactical Fighter Squadron "Bulldogs", Philippine Air
Force which can be seen at Fort del Pilar, in Baguio City.
