Hello Peter, yes you are right.

As I told earlier, I got drawings and use it. Don't take care are nose gear on scale position, but as you told, it can be more backward.
Why nose gear are on position where it is now I really don't know, maybe because better ground handling.
Also, there are space to move nose gear backwards, if modeler want to have more scale model.
This is huge model and have enough space. In that case split position of intake channels can be more inside.

For me this is first F 100 I build, maybe on second I'll made some changes around nose gear and intake channels.
But it is good for other modelers to see all this and change some things during building.
