F-8E Crusader BIG SIN Set

1:48 Eduard Brassin BIG SIN (SIN 64840)

 

 

The F-8E was the most produced version of Vought's famous carrier fighter. The F-8 would serve for over 2 decades with the US as well as the French and The Philippine Air Force. As at the time the F-4 had missiles only it would become famous for being the "Last of the Gunfighters". 

 

The Big Sin Set combines 4 other eduard sets at a more cost effective price.

 

Ejection Seat (648388)

Inside there is a Martin Baker seat as used by the F-8E. There is the resin seat, head box and seat cushion. The harness and ejection seat handles as well as other smaller parts are inclused on a colour nickel plated photo-etch sheet. A small decal sheet provides seat markings. This is a drop in fit for the kit seat and extra detail will really make the cockpit stand out.

 

 

 

 

Wheels (648387)

Surprisingly this set contains the wheels! Two main units and the smaller nose wheel are included. Casting is up to Eduard's usual excellent standards and they will be drop in replacement for the kit. 

 

 

 

Air Intakes (648301)

This set provides two new resin intake scoops for the afterburner cooling on the rear of the Crusader. PE Mounting plates are provided for these.

 

 

 

Exhaust Set (648302)

This set provides a new resin exhaust, burner ring, and fan, with a small pe fret for the internals.
