There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Quick question!
Does the RF-8 in the above photo have a flat belly??
Outstanding news.
Have lots of ref data if required - pm if you need - if I have it, it's yours.

The outline is an F-8E via Vought's own plans - the front shots show the RF-8's flat belly as an addition to the standard shape. I have a separate Vought plan drawing for the RF-8's nose outline and other details. Just getting the basic shape down right now.
Very nice! After your superb work with the Reporter and Black Widow, I'm sure this will be an excellent addition to the hangar!
Thanks for the great update!
Take your time, this will be worth the wait. My oldest daughter (12 y.o) is stoked about the Falcon, so you've got fans cheering you on in our family!

I suspect the transition from the rounded shape of the fuselage to the flat sides and bottom of the camera bay area will be a challenge. Fortunately there are a lot of RF-8 pics online that show that area at different angles. I did two tours in VFP-63 and have shipmates who know the airplane inside and out. If I can be of any assistance by all means contact me.![]()
