| Starfighter Decals has released a
set of decals for the VF-111 "Sundowners" F-8 Crusaders, that flew off
of the USS Intrepid in 1967, 68 and 69. |
| THE DECAL SHEET |
| There is one small decal sheet in this set, with
markings for 9 F-8 Crusaders - three from the 1967 deployment and six from
the 1968-69 deployment. The decals include national
markings, aircraft numbers, squadron and other markings. There
are over 20 decals for each aircraft! |

| INSTRUCTIONS |
| The instructions are on the
back side of the packaging insert, with a brief description of the markings
and a color profile of a sample F-8s for each deployment. Simple,
but effective. |

| THE DECALS ON
AIRCRAFT |
| I had the pleasure to use this decal
set on the F-8 Crusaders for my
Gallery
Models 1/350 CVA-11 USS Intrepid. I found that not
only did they look good on the decal sheet, but they were easy to use and
looked great on the aircraft. |

| CONCLUSIONS |
| This is a very nice little set of decals.
The colors all look in register and the decals are nicely printed.
Use caution when cutting decals from the sheet - they are small, even in
1/350. If you are building Gallery Models CVA-11 USS Intrepid on
Yankee Station from May 1967 to June 1969, you'll need this decal set!
This is Starfighter Decals set 350-11-100, VF-111 Sundowners 1967-69.
It retails for $8.00, and is available from Starfighter Decals. Thanks
to Starfighter
Decals for the review sample. Highly Recommended. |
