Just wanted to share this 1/48 Hasegawa F-8D that I converted using CAT4’s recently released conversion kit. This is a VF-32 jet circa 1965. The CAT4 nose cone needed some shape correction. With the help of a 3D print expert I replaced it with a more accurate nose cone. The decals for the yellow and black tail stripes and sword design on the spine also broke, so I instead painted them on using photocopy templates of the sheet, including the letters. Took me seven months to complete but this is my favorite build so far. 

Cheers, and happy new year!
