    F-15EX

    The warning system detects a missile plume only and on the QA there are sensors which provide 360 degree coverage. Also the sensor housings near the cockpit create a lot of noise when above 500 knots. This was what a good friend of mine told me who was a Boeing F-15 test pilot for nearly 2 decades.
  2. If I'm remembering correctly some time ago they did away with the windows. So depending on the time frame of the photo the windows might or might not be present.
  3. Try this on Amazon. Sorry about that I've got a new Mac and it will not allow me to copy the web address. Tamiya 74545 Spray-Work HG Airbrush III Super Fine
  4. Amazon.com- Tamiya 74545 Spray-Work HG Airbrush III Super Fine - Arts, Crafts & Sewing.webloc This is made by Iwata. I have one and it works great you can get super fine lines out of it. It also uses Iwata replacement parts. An additional plus it is a lot cheaper. To me I can't tell the difference in quality between it and my other Iwata airbrush.
  5. A friend of mine flew an early E (probably 65-0713) when he was a test pilot at Edwards AFB in the early 90's. I remember him telling me it had an E front cockpit and a D rear cockpit. Just in case you are wanting extreme accuracy.
  6. Some A-37s from the from the 604th SOS, 3rd TFW were painted in a pale blue and light gray scheme in Vietnam. Squadron's A-37 in Action book has 5 photos of them plus a color side view. In black and white photos it looks like ADC gray. Print Scale decals has a sheet with the markings for one of the aircraft. OA-37s that were operated out of Osan, South Korea were painted in overall gunship gray. Microscale had a sheet with these markings. As a side note a good friend of mine was able to fly the A-37 when he was in test pilot school at Edwards. He said it surprisingly had a lot of power
  7. Mine looks nothing like the photos. It did have a rough pebbly surface which I have for the most part sanded smooth. Mine does not have the sty rations that yours has. That looks awful. If mine would have looked like yours I would not have recommended it. Terry

  9. The feathers were removed in the early 80's. A friend of mine was an Eagle pilot and he said they were removed because they kept falling off in flight. So the remedy was simply to take them off the engines.
  10. The squadrons that fly the D are converting to F-35s. The D models are being distributed to the remaining C model squadrons. You can find both the C and D models operating side by side. I'm thinking they are probably going to increase the legacy squadron size by doing this and lower the flight hours per airframe.
  11. I would say the detail is good for a 1/144 scale kit. I haven't painted mine yet so I don't know about paint adhesion. And the prices have gone through the roof. They are almost unaffordable.
