Product Description
The F-8's speed brakes are located forward of the main landing gear bay.
In early F-8 models, the speed brakes and rocket pods were arranged in two stages, but in later models the rocket pod function was eliminated.
The F-8E/J is equipped with speed brakes that do not function as rocket pods.
The speed brakes are designed to contact the underside of the fuselage and cannot be fully opened when the aircraft is parked (though the flight manual does include instructions to close the speed brakes during landing approach).
This kit allows you to choose between a nearly fully opened throttle position during flight, or a lowered throttle position while parked.
Due to the parts configuration of the kit, the bulkhead in front of the main landing gear bay is also included in this kit.
It reproduces the details found on the F-8E/J.
Clear parts are included for navigation lights.
*This product is a part that is attached by cutting out a portion of the fuselage from the kit. You will need to cut the kit part to fit the mold.
*This part is designed slightly oversized because it may be difficult to fit depending on the processing method. Please gradually shave off the part that comes into contact with the kit to adjust it to fit the fuselage.
*Please note that we were unable to obtain complete information regarding the inner wall structure of the speed brake and the routing of the piping and wiring, so some parts have been reproduced based on images.
