F-8E Crusader VF-211 Fighting Checkmates, NP100, USS Bon Homme Richard, Vietnam, 1967 (1:72) by Century Wings
Item Number: CW601468
The Century Wings range presents highly-detailed, ready-made diecast models of military aircraft. Beginning with the ever popular F-14 Tomcat, Century Wings are setting a new standard in 1:72 diecast for detail and accuracy. Each model includes a selection of weapons and removeable pilot figures. Most notable however, are the completed landing gear sub-assemblies that snap quickly into place, elminating the frustration of attaching numerous individual gear doors and struts found on similar diecast models.
Century Wings diecast airplanes feature:
- Diecast metal construction with some plastic components.
- Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details.
- Pad printed markings and placards that won't fade or peel like decals.
- Opening canopies, revealing detailed cockpit interiors.
- Selected moveable control surfaces.
- Optional extended/retracted landing gear.
- Presentation stand to display the aircraft "in flight".
- Detailed removable pilot and crew figures.
- Authentic detachable ordnance loads complete with placards.
