Vought F-8 Crusader

Auto Credit Based on Razor3278's F-8 WIP

Well, almost a F-8.

After maybe 3 or 4 days of building and testing along with a unknown amount of mirroring and nudging, I finally finished this! I am really happy on how it ended up. This is my first and maybe last replica because they are really damn hard to do. I really hope that I recreated this beauty well with my current build skill. It took me really long because the wings will sometimes fail to fold and the guns blow the plane up. Managed to fix it myself though. It is not to scale and has a bit inaccurate performance but hey, at least it flies and looks quite nice.

A bit rough, no cockpit view and variable incidence wings. Sorry about that. Atleast it has a low part count.

Controls:
AG1- activate guns
AG2 + Trim up- fold wings
AG3- drop missiles
AG4- drop fuel tanks
AG5- afterburner

Hope you enjoy!
Ps. I forgot where I got those roundels lol
