F-8E VF-211 Fighting Checkmates NP101 1967 (1:72)

Only 1500 made.

This beautiful rendition of the F-8E Crusader can be configured for ground or "in-flight" display, however, the wings feature permanently deployed flaps and slats. Additionally, the nosewheel is in the compressed position, makes this model ideally suited to being displayed "ready for launch" from the catapult! The F-8 Crusader (originally F8U) was a single-engine aircraft carrier-based fighter aircraft built by Chance-Vought to replace the Vought F-7 Cutlass.
