vivkulan Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Model depicts the marine F-8 flown in vietnam. I enjoyed this build very much. Kit is a raised panel line.Serious short comings of the kit are the rear landing gear is very short which makes the aircraft sits lower (read this only after build is done), intake scoops are solid , decals were a nightmare (Can't expect more from a 30 year old kit). But other than that it is a good kit.... Hope you like it Vivek 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbob Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 What does "Bozo Nose" refer to? The thing on the bottom of the windscreen? (I'm obviously not up on F-8s.) bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivkulan Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 I think they call it a bozo nose because of the red nose like a clown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry it took me a while to get the joke.. (I am not from US even though I live there) But when I did ,I did laugh out loud..
