Vought - F-8E Crusader II (5000 points celebration)

8,810 Shugie  1.2 years ago

Vought - F-8E Crusader II

The last gunfighter.


First of all, thanks for 5000 points, I've quickly put together this build so it wont be as high quality. I used this build as a test bed to see what I'm capable of with fuselage slicing techniques, sorry If it looks rough, but it was intended as a fun build to learn new stuff.





Weaponry

4x Colt Mk 12 Cannons

2x AIM-9C Radar Guided Air to Air Missile

2x AIM-9D Infrared Guided Air to Air Missile


Activation groups:

AG1: Wing Lift System

AG2: Tail Hook


This build was made to be more mobile friendly, thus its not as detailed, so no custom missile models, but it does feature an afterburner above 98% throttle and custom gear bay doors.

Thats all for now, thank you for 5000 points

Keep safe everyone.
