## Description

Vought F-8E Crusader

Review: Serviceable 1/72 Crusader - This is an old reboxed kit from the late 80s and does have flash. Mine in particular has a bad section on one part of the fuselage tail. Cockpit details are very sparse, but panel lines are engraved well enough.
Review: Good - It's good just like every other kit from them just struggle finding the right paints but that's my problem love the addition of UK stickers

## Features

- The Vought F-8 Crusader was the first carrier-based fighter designed in the 1950s that attained supersonic flight capability.
- Due to its Pratt & Whitney turbojet engine with afterburner, it was able to exceed the then maximum speed of Mach 1.8.
- It entered service in the late 1950s with the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps fighter squadrons to replace the obsolete Vought F7U Cutlass.
- The F-8 had good operational longevity and was deployed routinely by the US until the Vietnam War.
- Armed with four 20mm guns installed on the sides of the large front air intake, it could carry a varied weapons load.
