Starfighter Decals 1/144 F-8C Shangri-La Crusader NR

By Matt Bittner

This set of F-8C Crusader decals from Starfighter Decals are for the following two aircraf that flew from the USS Shangri-La:

• F-8H VF-111 Sundowners, 1970
• F-8H VF-162 Hunters, 1970

Since both kits build into the F-8H, Starfighter shows you the steps necessary to create an F-8H from the Platz 1/144 F-8C kit.  Both machines are Gull Gray and White.

As always, keep in mind these decals are ALPS printed so care must be taken during handling and application.  You'll need the national insignia and aircraft data markings from the kit.

Another excellent set of decals from Starfighter for the excellent Platz F-8 kit.  My thanks to Starfighter Decals for the review sample.
