Outstanding Steven, looks amazing

Sweet, the local 104th FW isn't getting the EX sadly, they are slated to get Fat Amy instead. Only chance I've had to see an EX was at Oshkosh this year and they had that burried in Boeing Plaza

Is the F-15EX doing any flying? Wouldn't mind an Eagle Fest...

Norbert, might you have an A-10/F-15 Pilot with a JHMCS helmet in the works too?

If you have either and you're willing to part with let me know what you're asking. Thanks, Peter

Lol no worries on the "guy" thing. It's in storage right now with most of my kits but from what I remember it wasn't the greatest. Mind you I was just happy to get the -G conversion. There were mold flow lines in alot of the smaller parts, the exhaust extensions especially. The small strut supports for the exhausts and rescue hook were pretty warped. I was going to use kit parts for a bunch of it since I have the Italeri -F to start and it had some more of the updated parts included already. Everything is workable but a little disappointed overall.

I eventually got one from him but it was an experience for sure. Never managed to get any instructions for the Italeri kit conversion.

I'm seeing it missing on several 104th Fighter Wing aircraft from around 2010 through 2017. They recently have received Kadena C's but thats very recent. The decal sheet I have dates the aircraft at 2011 (85-0118) and I've got some of my own reference shots from 2014 of that aircraft without the ECS vents, for reference here are some of Ken Middleton's photos of that aircraft missing the ECS vent and a visible patch panel F-15C 85-0118 This and many of their wing at the time looks like they are pre PASS modifications as the instrument panels lack the big added corner for the new

Initial stages of going over some research for an F-15C build. I know that some aircraft initially had the round ECS vent below the rear canopy edge and then had it deleted as the system was modified (I have references for F-15cs up to 2014 without the exhaust vent) As of 2016 it looks like it was back on according to pictures. Was this a modification when F-15Cs went through the PASS upgrade? Thanks

They had that same missing sprue issue when the 2nd F-14A boxing was released too

I believe Kursad said he will be reprinting these too.

Have a good photo of that jet returning to the ramp because one of the intake ramps was stuck in the up position...
