Here are some photo's of my "interpretation" of Revell’s F-8 in French naval markings. The kit is not exactly accurate in terms French specification, but nonetheless you will still be able build an  F-8 that at least superficially looks like the French aircraft.

The kit was built mostly out of the box over a period of a week. The only modifications I made was to lengthen the main landing gear, (left unattended the kit will look like a tail sitter) and to rescribe the panel lines. I used the kit decals, which went on fine with no major dramas. Gunze-Sangyo paints were used to paint the model and a few coats of Testor’s Dullcoat was used to finish up the model.
