About product

Reskit 1:48 Exhaust Nozzle for the Vought F-8E Crusader

This is a resin detail set, not an airplane kit. It contains a precisely shaped exhaust nozzle for models of the American Vought F-8 Crusader carrier fighter in the F-8E version. The casting has a fine inner structure and faithful outer shapes that injection-molded plastic usually lacks. It is intended for 1:48 scale.

The real subject

The Vought F-8 Crusader was a supersonic carrier fighter of the US Navy and Marine Corps, marked by a variable-incidence wing. It was powered by a Pratt & Whitney J57 turbojet with an afterburner. The F-8E version was multirole, able to carry guided missiles and bombs; the type made its name in the fighting over Vietnam.

Usage tips

Wash the mold release agent off the part in lukewarm soapy water. Cut the casting block off with a saw and sand the cut with respiratory protection. Bond with super glue. Paint the nozzle separately in metallic and burnt shades and bring out the hot areas with dark pigments for a realistic look.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of Crusader models in 1:48
  • Modelers longing for a realistic engine nozzle
  • More experienced modelers working with resin

The set is an accessory, not a complete model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
