An aircraft that just about every jet modeler likes is the Crusader. Superscale has previously produced a VF-111 sheet, but it was not the CAG bird. Now you have that opportunity.

One thing I have noticed about some of the more recent Superscale sheets is that some will concentrate on providing all of the applicable decals for a single subject. The benefit of this over offering multiple markings is that you don't have to rely on what may be rather poor kit decals to fill in the blanks. Plus there is the added deal that most of the time, when two schemes are offered, you will only use one and the other goes unbuilt. I have many partial sheets because of this!

Anyway, there is one glitch on this sheet. This particular aircraft did not have upper wing modex markings. Though they are shown both on the sheet and drawing, the instructions have a big warning that tells you NOT to use it.

As with other newer Superscale sheets, a full set of data placement instructions are provided. BTW, we all know the F-8 is the Crusader and not the Corsair II as printed on the sheet.
