    Are Trumpeter 1/72 335 gallons tanks from their F-100 series accurate?

    in Jet Modeling

    Posted · Edited by Mizar

    I said 3 kits cause

     

    Either Esci F-100D and AMT F-100F comes with 335 tanks cept the one with Turkey AF and France AF decals

    One Trumpeter for extra bits

    Either Italeri F-100F or F-100D as I'm unsure which one to make.

     

    I once had everything needed,but sold the F-100F with Esci tanks and also sold Trumpeter C and Italeri D,so if anything I just need one F-100 and I have a load of Fujimi A-7 and A-4 Fuel drop tanks as I'm planning to use Arma Hobby ones instead

    1/72 F-16F from Hasegawa F-16I?

    POD contained in the F-16F kit is more shorter and skinny than the Sniper pod contained in both Hase weapon set and/or F-15SG which is the one i checked as I still have to buy the weapon set.

     

    The squared section is also more longer than the one present in the Sniper pod,regarding spine related parts I think the ones included in the F-16D 52+ will do the trick

    1 A for Ace Combat 5 Swordsman

    1 A late for Ace Combat Infinity

    1 more A late to be defined

    1 A early with Belka markings

     

    1 B for Ace Combat 5 Blaze

    1 more B to be defined

     

    1 D for Area88 Mickey Simon with UN Squadron markings

    1 D for Ace Combat Zero Schnee

    1 D for Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy Lancer

    1 D for Ace Combat 5 Zipang with Yuktobania markings

     

    Plus some extra A/B/D options are open for the upcoming AC7 game hoping they will stick away with Idolcrap planes and offer a better variation of what-if camouflages,cause right now all they showed was just a sea of grey and plain crap


    Can't see to find 6 FM F-14D at human prices to mish mash them with their upcoming A,have around 16 Hasegawa Tomcats stored away and I guess I'll be sticking with them :-\

    The rounded one came first and was replaced by the "chisel" shaped one.  These were not on D models that left the factory as pre-MSIP jets, just on D models that came out of the factory as MSIP.  They were also not on A and B models; although, Ken Middleton posted a picture of an A model with the antenna on the left tail boom.  I suspect that the tail boom had to be replaced, due to a tail strike, and all they had were E model replacements.

     

     

    These have changed shape over the years from squarish to swept "shark fin" shapes, probably based on a new manufacturer.

     

     

    MSIP C Models only, as a rule.

     

     

    Right, aft one modified on MSIP C (and some D) models.  ON MSIP A and B models the left, aft one was modified. 

     

     

    The A through D model's HUD has stayed the same; the only minor detail difference is when the "Eagle Eye" scope was mounted, and that was a small bracket added to the right side of the HUD frame.

     

     

    The instrument panel on some jets has been significantly modified starting in 2015ish, with Jax Guard jets.  The engine instruments and TEWS scope were removed and replaced by a large display for the PAS mod which allows carriage of the Sniper pod.  LINK  I don't know of any pictures available of it.

    Resurrecting this for a thanks

    Sometimes I completely lose track of my post/request especially when the effin ISP keeps me away from the internet :-\

    Thanks Murph,just by searching around and checking pics around I have noticed these differences so feel free to correct them ^^

     

    Two different antenna fairings mounted on the right tip at the base of vertical stab

    ECS exhaust grill removed

    Hook fairing removed

    Dem saber drains

    Blade aerials under the forward fuselage section

    AEW antennas mounted in front of windshield and under the fuselage

    Instruments panel

    Instruments panel is also different and on updated J I/II has some sort of thing which is not present on US birds

    GPS antenna ala F-15E

    Formation lights

    Parent mounting or whatever is called on wing pylons

    Battery hole is also different?

    Could be wrong but somewhere it was said that those square panels above intakes were also faired or filled over

    It seems that the rear part of fairing mounted on left vertical stabilizer is also different

    HUD changes like it happened for F-16s and F-14s?

    Also exhausts under the fuselage are no longer there?

    On A models I've probably spotted three different types of strengthening plates scattered all around them

    JSDAF MSIP guess I'll take the Platz one or see if F-15J.com is still working with updated pictures

    Thanks Inquisitor, I'm just in the need of that pod for a special Silent Eagle project so if anything laziness aside I was planning to make some extra copies for it and open them up,if anything knowing real pod's length,height and width will help but I doubt someone will ever post them

    I'd be in for either the kit or conversion.  If you look closely,  you'll see 'NWL' on the tail markings.  That's the company I work for in Kalamazoo Michigan.  I was there when the the program was going on.  We already made the primary flight controls for the F-15 and for this program we developed the canard controls (modified F-16 flap/taileron actuators) and actuators for the directional nozzles.  We were 'National Waterlift Co.' but now are the Hydraulic Systems Division of Parker Aerospace.  We were really proud to be part of that program.  I have considered scratch building the aircraft but would rather have the work done for me in a kit. 

     

    Do you remember if the bottom and some upper parts of the engine fairings were squared off or not?

    maybe Hasegawa will come to the rescue,realize that mistake they're just doing for their 1/72 rendition and release the effin right one with 2d nozzles too,anyway some japanese builder did actually make it

    pretty sure that for December they will rebox it with Sorcer markings from Ace Combat Zero,as for now I ordered one just to be sure to not commit the same mistake I did for the Advanced Super Hornet as I can't find one and nobody is doing that dang pod in 1/72

    Whelp is they didn't toy around with the drop tank there is no need to pull an F-111 accurate drop tank question anymore,found also this album

     

     

    With some other Hi-Res pics uploaded on Wikimedia,also I'm going to ask to some spotters that were around X Deci during Spring Flag 2006 and ask if they have anything to share.

     

    Sorry for the OT and ofc the world is still in the need of clear WRM drop tank pics as Phobucket killed everything and I only see the very same pictures from 10 years or so ago :-\

    PB bloated their page with ADs,with UBlock Origin I can avoid everything but that dang window which opens once per day.A week ago I could not even look at my images cause some fishy script was detecting UBO and had to change some stuff to prevent that,is not that I had tons of pics there but since Imageshack did the same and we all know how well it ended I'm expecting them to drop dead verily soon
