This is the second sheet for the Crusader and like the first, it is designed for the Hasegawa F-8E. Both aircraft are in the nice light gull grey over white scheme and both have black radomes.

First is from VF-11, which is one of the units offered in the old Monogram kit. This one has  more color to it as you can see on the fin strakes and the tail band. It portrays a plane from the 1960 time period when the Crusader was new.

The other is a nicely done VMF-333 'Shamrocks' bird from the 1967 time period. A nice white and green tail band is the distinguishing feature of this one.

Full markings are provided for one plane and include the red section that goes on the leading edge of the wing root. One of the second set of 'rescue' arrows was accidentally done in red so a small sheet with the correct arrow is provided. A nice pair of markings for the new kit.
