Focke-Wulf Fw-190F-8 gun bay

Not with what's in the box you can't.  The F-8 kit has the wing minus the outboard cannons.  Unless you found an A-8/A-9 without them, you can't do one directly from the box contents.  Or you could get the A night fighter and leave off the dangly bits.

Do you mean these bulges on the outer section?

These are in the F kit but greyed out? This build is the F version. I just drilled the holes and add the pieces? Sorry if I confused the matter?

Not the topside outer bulges/covers (which were also found on some F-8s, even though they didn't have the outer cannons).

 

The one-piece lower wing part in the Revell kits is different between the F-8 and A-8 boxings. The F-8 kit has flat covers over the outer cannon bay, the A-8 kit has the required bulge and ejector chutes molded into it.

 

The F-8 part:

And, the A-8 kit part:

Thus, it is not possible to build a proper A-8 from the F-8 kit.
