Marco, pay attention don't mix up the versions even if it is a number 4,'kieku kien 109, kin jghaddi??"
It is not an F-8E, but an earlier version, the nose cone is more pointed and not IR seeker.

Nice Job Chris,

looking forward to see the cocpit pieces this evening. Unfortunately cannot bring along my bits and pieces, as I would need a van to carry the lot.

I believe that this is about to change Nann cheers

You might see some new models (rumor has it there are 3 Wink

) coming from the master sooner than you think. Right Marco Exclamation

If not, Joe Fenech and me have something planned which might prove to be the right catalyst. Can't wait bounce

By the way... nice progress Chris!

Regarding the ejection seat. The F-8E had 2 seats during its service.

1st - Martin Baker mk-F5
http://www.martin-baker.com/products/Ejection-Seats/Mk--1-to-Mk--9/Mk--5.aspx

2nd - Martin Baker mk-F7 fit from 1968 onwards.
