Thanks for the replies. Jari, the photos gave a good idea of what is going on down there, thanks! Jerry

Hello, I am asking for anybody with photos of an F-15E carrying either AMRAAMs or AIM-7 missiles in the STA-6C, STA-7C, STA-3C or STA-4C positions. I am making the Revell F-15E and it gives positions for 3 hardpoints, I think those were intended for bombs but I have seen mudhens carry A-A missiles on that rail and would like to emulate that. If you have any photos, I would much appreciate them! Thanks, Jerry

HAHAHA I like it! Good looking plane, nice job!

Thanks for the info, habu2. Jerry

Hello, this is a call for help to everyone out there who has built a Revell 1/48 F-15E Eagle (I think the USA and Germany kits are the same in the area I am concerned about). I was building the intakes, but then I realized that I didn't know which inboard intake part goes on which side. I cut both parts out, but then realized that I didn't know which part was which, and therefore which part goes on which side. I am talking about parts 13 (starboard inboard intake) and 14 (port inboard intake). I have both pieces cut out, so I don't know which one is which. Can somebody take a picture of th

Thanks for the comments guys :) Yes I agree that especially for its price, it really isn't that bad of a kit. Of course I accumulate ordinance from here and there so the payload isn't too big of a problem for me...after all I like the clean birds anyways. Jerry

Great work, excellent looking model! Here in San Diego we have the actual aircraft that I believe this kit is modeled off of: http://www.myaviation.net/search/photo_search.php?id=01383761&size=large Again, great work! Jerry

Unintentionally timed for Memorial Day, I have just completed this Revell F/A-18E Super Hornet in the 48th scale. The entire thing is OOB. I manually cut the flaps down, and although it is not mechanically accurate, the end result is nice. Model Master enamels used for the body and acrylics used in the cockpit. I hope you enjoy. Thanks for looking Jerry

Is this thread still open? F-15 is still a beautiful airplane to me...

Thanks guys, I'll be sure to find a Dragon kit for the tank :) Jerry

Hello guys, For the past few years I've been only building airplane models, but now I want to start building armor too. I like the M1 Abrams tank, did a little bit of research, I think Revell has a 1/35 scale one. Tamiya has a good-looking one but it is too expensive ($92?). I think I would prefer 1/35 scale, because in airplane modeling, I like the 1/48 larger airplanes. So...do you guys have any suggestions for which M1 kit to take? Of course I will probably build my first kit out of the box with no mods (I don't even know if you guys do mods, but us airplane guys use plenty of modifica

Thanks Pierre for the link. Arnaud, you bring up a good point. I fitted one of the intakes in today, and it looks like you can see just a bit of the outboard intake. Oh well, it will have to do :) Jerry

Hey guys, I'm working on an F-18 super hornet and I'm having trouble painting the intakes. As you may know, the intakes are not white from the beginning, but rather the leading edges of the intakes are still gray. This is a relatively good photo to describe the intake: Notice how the right side, top side, and bottom of the intake are gray at the beginning. My question is concerning the right side. It is not white from the beginning, however, I cannot find any photo that can show me how far this gray extends back. Does anybody have sources or an idea of how far back it would go? Thanks

Your plane looks great! But I would have expected Hasegawa to include more detail on those exhaust nozzles...

Hello everybody It's been a while since my last build and I am very busy right now, but I am working on this Revell F-18E Gonna build her completely OOB, decals and armament and all. Here she is so far: Cockpit went okay, messed up on the decals. Was too lazy to paint the panel in detail here, so just used the kit panel decals. Nevertheless, this model will probably be finished canopy open. I lost the ejection handle and joystick, gonna have to write to Revell for some replacement parts soon. This is my 2nd model where I am trying sanding. My previous F-18, the Revell F-18F, I sanded

Hopefully after May, I'll have some time to work on some plastic. 1. 1/48 Revell F-14 Tomcat 2. 1/48 Revell F/A-18E Super Hornet 3. 1/72 Hasegawa F-11F 4. 1/72 Academy Tempest 5. a 1/48 of any of these: Italeri EA-18G, Revell F-15E, or Tamiya F-16C Blk 52 Jerry

Thanks for the details guys. I haven't gotten a chance to do so yet, but I don't have too much time to build it now either. But i'll give it a shot in a little bit. toadwbg, did that really happen? That sounds so different from their customer service! I contacted Revell several times concerning the accuracy of some of their instructions, they never get back to me :/ In that case, maybe in the process, I should ask for another set of pylons and fuel tanks? I have always despised the fact that the kit comes with only one fuel tank... Thanks! Jerry

Great work everybody! Man, the members here are really talented! I got 3 done this year, none of which are really competitive...but I'm still learning! 1. Italeri 1:48 F-22A Raptor 2. Revell 1:48 F-8E Crusader 3. Revell Germany 1:48 F/A-18F Super Hornet Happy Holidays to all! Hope to see plenty more new models in 2013! Jerry

Thanks bashace and gonzalo, I appreciate your offers, but I think I will try to contact Revell first :) I read a build thread on ARC, where a person damaged a part, mailed for a replacement, and he got it, so hopefully 'I lost it' is a valid reason! Thanks for all the help! Jerry

really? that's excellent! I just hope they won't ask for a proof of purchase :/ thanks guys!

hello all, A friend of mine just gave me his Revell 1/48 F-18E super hornet. I inspected it at his house and didn't see much missing. But now, I realize it is missing the joystick. He gave me the kit for free, so I'm not going to go bother him. I know some might recommend an aftermarket cockpit...I'm not too interested in buying a cockpit set that costs more than the original plane, and it's only a joystick. I suppose I could write to Revell, but doubt they will get back to me. Right now the best idea I have on mind is to actually rip out the joystick from one of my old F-18s, a closed ca

Hello all! I'm progressing on my Revell 1/48 Super Kitty. But I have some questions about the decals, and I wasn't sure whether to post this in this forum or the Research Corner. This kit's decals are a huge headache. There are two options available: 1. 163894, NJ-432, a line jet from VF-124 2. 164340, NK-200, a CAG jet from VF-31 But a google search of that supposed line jet turned out that that airplane is the CAG jet from VF-2 Bounty Hunters. I was not able to find that specific line jet at all. The CAG jet looks a bit more promising. Except, a Google search returns the same squadron

Very nice build! Looks fantastic! :D May I ask about the fit of the kit parts? Keep up the work! Jerry

Wow how did I not see this...you have done an amazing job on your B767! I did a Revell A340 a few months back and it turned out looking pretty bad...the paint just wouldn't stick right. And I love the way you did the vertical stabilizer, really neat job on the purple! Jerry

Greetings from San Diego, California! That is a beautiful looking F-16, really love your job on the panel lines! Jerry
