Narrative:
We had been holding at a hard stand, awaiting release. Ground cleared us to taxi to, and hold short of runway 8. Due to construction on the field, the hold short line was not properly marked with yellow lines. I was expecting to see the hold short line on the intersecting taxiway, but it was on the parallel taxiway, 100 yds before the intersection. The captain had misunderstood the taxi clearance, and was planning to pull into position on the runway, when I told him our clearance was to 'hold short.' due to the airport construction and improperly marked taxiway, we stopped quite close to the runway. An air carrier Y, A300, was landing and passed close to our nose in his flare.
