[GWH F-15E - F-15I ra’am]

Thanks for everyone’s help with this. In the end I found a reasonably priced E and went with that. It’s on the proverbial slow boat. Of course not long after that the local hobby shops opened back up and they had a kit. Oh well I look forward to it I enjoyed the first one I built so I can clear more of my stash while I wait.

Dave,
Thanks for taking the time to reply. That is all stuff I can work with. I definitely like to use the KA models exhaust nozzles. Again thank you!

 

[GWH F-15E - F-15I ra’am]

Since the GWH F-15I is more easily available to purchase and a little cheaper could I use that as a F-15E. Of course have to use the decals and proper paint for a USAF E. Tried to find info if they are basically the same airplane or not and didn’t find any definitive answer.  If it is minor modding needed I can take care of that

I had emailed the crew over at Furball aero and they thought November the decals would be out. Anyone heard an update. I have the C and the E mostly done just need the decals for me to finish. BTW the Great Wall F-15s are really good builds. Went together great with little work needed hiding seams

Thanks Stephen,

Thats great news!

 

Thanks,

[Lakenheath F-15E]

Thank you for the reply. Was hoping for 1/48. I should have mentioned the scale.

 

Thanks,

Andrew

[Lakenheath F-15E]

Does anyone know if there are decals available or in the works for the Lakenheath F-15E D-day anniversary scheme? Haven’t had any luck with searching the net.

 

Thanks,

This is excellent.  Must be a lot of fun to share the hobby with your daughter. I will be following the progress.

[Dish soap]

I gave it a try after reading the thread and it pretty much tells what not to do. No idea if it helped but what I was trying to do worked. Happy about that just not sure if it would help or not on something larger. 

 

Thanks for you replys

Andrew

[Dish soap]

I see from time to time people talking about adding dish soap to paint and once adding it to pastel and water for weathering. My question 1 Why? 2 how much? 3 to water and paint mix or thinner and paint mix. Also willing to watch or read any videos or articles to get these answers. 

 

Thanks 

Andrew

[RAF Lakenheath photo thread]

Thanks Gary. Nice video of it on you tube in the hangar with a P-47 that must have inspired it. Would love to build a F-15E with those markings. So rare when USAF paints up a fighter like that. Even though I’m a vet of the USAF I’ve always preferred he way the US  Navy fighters are painted with their CAG jets. 

[RAF Lakenheath photo thread]

Anybody get shot of the F-15 E that is painted in WWII striping?

[Mig-29]

I want to build one of the Great Wall Migs. I want to do a Cold War Soviet MiG-29. Did the Soviets use the 9-12 and the 9-13 or just the -12. 

 

Thanks

[1/48 Pilot helmets]

Does anybody know where to get 1/48 scale fighter pilot helmets that could be carried by a pilot figure or be displayed on the aircraft?

 

Thanks Andrew

[A-4M Decals needed]

Sent a direct message to you. 

[A-4M Decals needed]

Would anybody know of a way to get a hold of the 1/48 scale decal sheet from an out of production Hasegawa A-4M Skyhawk. VMA-131 Diamondbacks.

 

Thank you

Andrew
