The Century Wings "1:72 Wings of Heroes" range presents highly-detailed, ready-made diecast models of military aircraft. Highly collectible, Century Wings models are setting a new standard in 1:72 diecast for detail and accuracy.
This beautiful rendition of the F-8E Crusader can be configured for ground or "in-flight" display. Additionally, the entire wing is articulated and can be raised and lowered, adjusting the incidence angle for take-off and landing, just like the real aircraft.
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. The first F-8 prototype was ready for flight in February 1955, and was the last American fighter with guns as the primary weapon.
