Hasegawa 00339 - 1/72 Scale F-8E Crusader Model Kit - Precision in small scale

The Hasegawa 00339 - 1/72 Scale F-8E Crusader Model Kit provides hobbyists with finely detailed plastic parts to recreate the Crusader's distinctive profile. The kit is aimed at builders who like clean panel lines and accurate small-scale detail for bench-top builds.

Carrier-era design notes

The Vought F-8E was developed with features to improve carrier operations, most notably its variable-incidence wing which helped with deck handling. Its performance made it a mainstay of naval fighter forces in the postwar period, and this kit captures the important visual cues.

Builder tips and finish

Expect tight moulding and well-defined parts from Hasegawa. Some seam filling and sanding may be needed for a pristine finish. Painting and clear-coating will enhance panel definition and the effect of the included decals.
