I decided I'd make a new topic for this one. Some minor things stil need work, but I've started "serial production" already. Only late French versions for the moment. Early French and then other nations later.
This is F-8P (P stands for Prolong? - extended life) n?10 of Flotille 12.F. This aircraft is preserved in the Le Bourget Air & Space Museum.
In June 1994, F-8P n?3 (BuNo 151734) of Flotille 12.F based at Landivisiau NAS received "invasion stripes" to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Normandy landings.
F-8E(FN) n?34 of Flottile 12.F carrying two Matra 550 Magic II IR missiles. The "Crouze" could carry AIM-9 Sidewinders or French-built Magic I and II. N?34 was later refurbished to F-8P standard in August 1993. The F-8P was mostly an overhauled F-8E(FN) with some extra avionics and a RWR installed in the fin.
Although I'm still working in the same format as the CR.42 (30cm width, 300 dpi), my filesize is now 4 timeslower because tried managing layers better. Maybe my hard drive won't burst into flames after all...
More coming soon.
