■Product Description
Detail up your aircraft with 3D printed parts!
Reproduce the launcher and pylons of the F-8 Crusader using 3D modeling and 3D printing.
■AAM-9 Launcher Adapter The LAU-7A is a launcher used mainly on US Navy aircraft to mount AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. Fine details such as the rail, the cover that houses the umbilical cable, and the blast shield at the rear end have been reproduced. The shape of the pegs has been adjusted so that it can be used with the Academy 1/72 F-8E/J without modification. When attaching the LAU-7A to the side of the F-8's fuselage, an adapter is used that allows for single or Y-shaped double mounting. A single adapter is also included.
■Wing Pylons These pylons are used to mount weapons under the main wings of the F-8, at Stations 1 and 4. It can carry one Mk.84 or AGM-12B, two Mk.83s via a triple ejector rack, and four Mk.81/82s via a multi-ejector rack. Since the introduction of the F-4, the F-8 has been primarily used for ground attack missions, so it is common to see it loaded with bombs. To give a sense of detail even when no weapons are loaded, the ejectors inside the pylons are also modeled. In addition, separate parts have been prepared for using the multi-ejector rack parts from the kit.
