I realize it is probably early to be asking this, but does anyone have any information on a release date or schemes that will be offered?

I noticed on the test shot, in addition to the raised wing, there is a slot on the side of the fuselage-- probably for mounting sidewinders or maybe, zuni rockets?

As I am playing Santa and getting out my kid's Christmas gifts tonight, I feel like this announcement is a very nice "gift" from Century Wings for all of us on the forum! Thank you to CW and Merry Christmas to all!

Geez, ya visit the kids for Christmas and miss all the action.......
Do you realize we started some heavy talk about the F-8 last July? Not a bad turn around if they were listening.
Now what do we start pushing for?

Great news! So if they're actually listening to customers does that mean I might get my F-105??

Wow, this is really amazing. This bird will sell like hotcakes and I know I'll have a plate full.

For a good selection of schemes, browse through here: F-8 Gal_Fea Archives Note that many of the best are the F-8C, D, H, and K, which cannot be done from an F-8E/J mold.

For an F-8J, I'll ask for VF-24 CAG, like in the Hasegawa kit (see attached pic, red/black marks). Yes, the nosecone is spiral-striped.

For a French F-8P---D-Day striping! Click here: 1/48 Revell F-8E (FN) Crusader (D-Day) by Anton M. Alerte

And for an RF-8G (c'mon, it was in the Final Countdown--surely it's coming?)---did someone say LOW-VIS? (bottom pic, click on thumbnail)

Really nice touch that they announced it on Christmas Day.

PS----while Century doesn't mention it, the fact that they have an F-8J means they also have an F-8E(FN). E and E(FN) are quite different. So they actually can do the E, J, E(FN), and P models.

This is great news, definitely getting one! Amazing what a bad influence you all are. I wouldn't normally be after a $60 model.

I just had an accident.
