These are some Hasegawa 1/48 F-8
Crusaders. The newest two built for the Supersucker group build of F-8s and
A-7s. The decals have been in the stash for many years just waiting for the
opportunity for use. The VF-111 Sundowners sheet is a at least 20+ year old
Superscale sheet. It was really built to replace the CAG VF-111 Crusader I built
a number of years ago. Both the VF-111s were from the USS Shangri-La in the
early 70s. CVW-8 of course.

The other Crusader with the
big yellow arrow is a Aeromaster sheet off the USS Forrestal back in the
very early 60s, as always for me while attached to CVW-8.
The other background jet is a 10-15
year old Monogram jet of VF-84. Like all these group builds we have on ARC, gets
the stash down to reasonable amounts.
