Really hard to get a good look at the wingtips for these particular jets when they were on the USS Independence in 1962. The decals were meant to fit the Monogram kit, so I'll have to make rudder stars fit somehow
At some point, I will be building this highly unique and amazing VF-33 F-8E. These Aeromaster decals have an option for one that flew off the USS Enterprise in 1962, adorned with yellow lightning bolts and black stars. It was among the first production F-8Es, so at the time it lacked the Bullpup hump that was characteristic of the aircraft. One thing the decal sheet unfortunately does not seem to have right is the wingtip decals--these black lightning bolts were featured on earlier version F-8s that flew with VF-33. To correct this I'm going to use the yellow wingtip decals from another sheet and find black stars that are the approximate size.
