Another fantastic build of the F-8E/P French Naval Aviation by modelling friend Alexandre Blech The F-8E served from 1965 to 1999 in the Aéronavale, and they were purchased to replace worn-out Sud-Est Aquilons. (License-built Havilland Sea Venom fighters.) Dassault had proposed a navalized Mirage III, but it was ill-suited for the small French aircraft carriers. France turned to an open competition for faster replacement.

Adie Roberts continues his inspirations series to help modellers of all abilities to work out of their comfort zone building dioramas or just trying new builds.
