Product Description
We recreated the cockpit and engine nozzles of the F-8E using 3D modeling and 3D printing.
This set includes the cockpit and engine nozzle.
Among the many subtypes of the F-8 Crusader, this is the cockpit of the F-8E, where the display unit for the AN/APQ-94 radar is mounted on top of the instrument panel.
We have recreated details such as the rudder pedals in front of the cockpit tab, the side consoles, and the canopy opening and closing mechanism behind the ejection seat.
The Mk.F7 ejection seat is molded as one piece with the cockpit tab.
Early F-8 Crusader models were equipped with VOUGHT ejection seats, but these were replaced with MB Mk.F5A seats in the F-8D and later models.
The Mk.F7 recreated here features an ejection seat, which was installed as a replacement part in subtypes other than the F-8A.
*While there are subtypes of the MK.F7 ejection seat, this does not reproduce any specific subtype.
To make painting easier, the cockpit is divided into two parts, front and back, and the control stick is a separate part.
The F-8 was equipped with the J57-P-20 engine.
Pratt & Whitney refers to it as JT3C.
Looking at F-8 documentation, it appears there are about three different shapes for the cover portion that surrounds the nozzle iris. This part replicates the shape found on the F-8E/J, where the iris retracts into a cylindrical shape when fully extended.
The iris itself was set to a nearly fully closed position.
The Augmenta's pipe section and frame holder have also been reproduced.
The shape has been adjusted for use in model art.
You will need to remove the anti-glare shield from the kit, but no other modifications are necessary.
Material: Light-curing resin
