Product Description
The F-8 was equipped with the J57-P-20 engine, which Pratt & Whitney referred to as the JT3C.
When looking at the F-8 documentation, I've tried to recreate the shape of the cover portion that surrounds the nozzle iris, so that it fits within a three-part cylindrical shape.
The iris itself is reproduced in a nearly fully closed state, and the Augmenter's pipe section and frame holder are also recreated.
The F-8 has a sub-air intake for engine cooling, mounted at the base of its vertical stabilizer.
It has a distinctive shape, as if it were assembled by bending sheet metal, and the details differ between the F-8C/D and the F-8E/J.
This part replicates the shape seen on the F-8E/J.
The parts for the vane-type AOA sensor mounted on the right side of the nose are also included.
This model is designed to be used with the Academy 1/72 F-8E/J without any modifications, in terms of shape and size.
The AOA sensor is installed by drilling a 0.8mm hole.
The engine nozzle can be inserted from the rear end of the fuselage even after the fuselage halves have been joined together.
