■Product Description
Detail up your aircraft with 3D printed parts!
Reproduce the engine nozzle and sub-air intake of the F-8E/J Coolsader using 3D modeling and 3D printing.
The F-8 was equipped with the J57-P-20 engine. Pratt & Whitney calls it the JT3C. Looking at F-8 documentation, there seem to be about three different shapes for the cover that covers the nozzle iris, but this part reproduces the shape installed on the F-8E/J, where the iris fits into a cylindrical shape when fully open. The iris itself is depicted in a nearly fully closed state. The augmenter pipe section and frame holder are also reproduced. The F-8 has a sub-air intake for engine cooling that is attached to the base of the vertical stabilizer. It has a distinctive shape that looks like it was 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. It also includes parts for the vane-type AOA sensor mounted on the right side of the nose. The model is designed to be used with the Academy 1/72 F-8E/J without modification. The AOA sensor requires drilling a 0.8mm hole for installation. The engine nozzles can be inserted from the rear of the fuselage even after the fuselage halves have been joined.
