Here is the second sheet of Crusader decals. As with the first, both subjects are in the light gull grey and white scheme. They are also sized to fit the new Academy kit. Like the first sheet, there are insignia and data markings included.

First up is the CAG bird from Carrier Air Wing Five as assigned to VF-53 aboard the USS Oriskany in 1966. It is a simple scheme that makes for a nice model when done. Here is an image of these markings in 1/48 as applied to the venerable Monogram kit.

The other subject is from VMF(AW)-212 also aboard the Oriskany but in 1965. This has simple markings as well, but the blue bands make for a fetching looking aircraft.
