Great Wall 1/48 F-15B/D as an "Early" F-15B
aircommando130 replied to AnthonyWan's topic in Jet Modeling
73-111 had a regular speedbrake with a stiffener on it. A model wheels were the black ones and if I remember ACES II seats after block 11?? Might have been later blocks but those air superiority blue Eagles were cool looking! Cheers...Ron -
That station looks to be aft of the right wheel well. I can see the seat bar for the wheel well in the picture. That guys got some big eyebrows too! LOL! Cheers...Ron

Michigan had some of the best painted F-4's in the years the guard flew the F-4. Great job on yours! Cheers....Ron -
I was at Travis from 1975-80 and everything was that color! Being in the bay area we got to calling it San Quentin green cause I guess the dept of corrections used the same color. LOL! Cheers...Ron

The Benson tanks used in the C-130 came out of old KC-97's. They bolted into the cargo floor. The green and blue arrows point to the fuel lines that go up into the plumbing to the wings for fuel. They could fill the benson tank from the single point refueling panel in the right aft wheel well. they could burn the fuel out of those tanks and then go to wing fuel or externals. The red hard line was part of the fuel system as well. Those cutouts in the cradle were so you could get up under there if you had a gear problem and had to inspect/chain the gear. And you

Desert Storm F-15C Eagle Hasegawa 1/48
aircommando130 replied to Wolf_el_Real's topic in The Display Case
As much as I love the Phantom II, the Eagle has earned it's place among fighters too. I really, really liked the Eagle in the compass gray paint and high vis national insignia. The 33rd TFW distributed a lot of MIG parts during Desert Storm. Great job on the Desert Storm MIG killer! Cheers...Ron -
That's funny with that E model and "HO" on the tail. Cheers...Ron

The SKE dome was black on the SEA painted C-130E/H and was on top the airplane almost in line with the crew door/ just aft of the forward overhead escape hatch. It was painted gray when the Herk went to gray paint. It allowed the airplane to see itself and 3 other aircraft in the formation. So in big formations it would show the airplanes around you and help you keep your position. Most we flew was 3 ship in the MC-130...no SKE...all visual looking out the front and both paratroop doors. Cheers...RON
