Detail & Scale F-8 Crusader (Volume 31) by Bert Kinzey 

Product Description

The Detail & Scale F-8 Crusader (Volume 31) by Bert Kinzey provides an in-depth examination of one of the U.S. Navy's most successful carrier-based fighters of the Cold War.

Nicknamed "The Last of the Gunfighters" due to its four 20mm cannon armament, the F-8 Crusader earned an impressive combat record during the Vietnam War while serving with both the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. This volume covers the fighter's development, operational history, technical features, and reconnaissance variants.

Packed with photographs, detail shots, drawings, and technical information, this reference is an excellent companion for modelers building Crusader kits from Hasegawa, Academy, Monogram, ESCI, Hobby Boss, and other manufacturers.
