Academy Vought F8U-2 Crusader of VF-84 Jolly Rogers in 1/72 Scale

Here is the Academy Vought F8U-2 Crusader, this is my second build of this kit.  A nice kit with no surprises.  This one is in the colorful markings of VF-84 Jolly Rogers during their deployment aboard USS Independence (CV-62) in September 1960.  Cut then Add decals from their sheet No. 06, “Jolly Rogers Timeline Part Two” provided the markings.
