- The prototype XF8U-1 succeeded in its maiden flight in March 1955, and at that time it already exceeded the speed of sound.
- A slender body that is narrowed down to the thickness of the engine to fully demonstrate the performance of the high-output engine J-57, a cockpit arranged at the tip of the fuselage to ensure visibility, and a two-position variable based on the experience of the previous F7U. It had many avant-garde features such as a wing with a splayed angle and accompanying leading edge slats, a flaperon, and a clipped delta wing with a swept angle of 42°.
- Well, the kit perfectly reproduces the Crusader's advanced form.
-Hasegawa's unique concave line mold enhances the sharpness of the actual machine, and of course the characteristic variable mounting angle is reproduced, and 2 positions can be selected after assembly.
- Flap relationship can be selected when assembling up & down.
- Various launchers and Zuni rockets are available for armament.
