  1. As the fellows across the pond would say, "NOICE"! I like the subtle weathering and the 'oxidized' look of the metal finish, which I find more realistic that the chrome-mirror finish some modellers portray. Did you use Model Master enamel for the interior green?
  2. Also: The shimmy damper added to the front landing gear. GPS antenna. Short front CFT pylon. I also read somewhere that current F-15E nose cones are different, something about the newer AESA radar updates but I am not sure.
  3. I considered that but I really want to build an early USAFE bird. And, I sacrificed one of my crappy Academy F-15's I have in my stach and have now a brand new tail hook n' cover already attached to the Hase Eagle.
  4. Thanks for your reply. The more I look at photos of DS Eagles the more I am convinced that most if not all of the F-15A/C's of that era still have the fairing installed. The problem is that have already cut the fairing from my Hasegawa F-15 and glued the Wolfpack replacement parts in, and now I cannot find the chopped pieces. 😪
  5. Gents: does anyone here knows if the F-15's flown by the 32 Tactical Fighter Squadron (Soesterberg) during Desert Storm have their arrestor hook covers already removed? Lots of photos about this squadron in the web but NONE that show this detail (at least none for the DS/immediate post-DS period). Thanks!
  6. I am still waiting for my 1:24 B-29.
  7. What? Is Klaus back again from deep storage????? 😁
  8. You can create PLASTIC fine tubing by heat stretching hollow plastic Q -Tip handles, just like you do with regular sprue.
  9. Oh Great Buddha heard me, heard me: why not a new tool 1/48 A-10A/C????????? Yeah, I know, only one operator, produced in small numbers, no glamour nor air to air kills and other Tom-Cruise-like shoot but its still cool, saved a lot of grunts their asses and still strike FEAR to anyone unfortunate enough to stand in their way. Just saying...
  10. Ok, let's wait until someone do a full build to asses if its an actual error or just carelessness of the person who build it for the photo. Mine's on my way from Mega Hobby so as soon it land on my door will check it and post my findings here, if necessary.
  11. Hi Sleepy, you are quite correct on your observation. Should be a simple fix thou.
  12. Tried to contact them a few months ago for a missing part and to this day no joy too. Seems that their customer support is non-existent.
  13. You can preorder it on HobbyEasy for $50.33, that's the best price I have seen so far. I am sure that once it is released you will find better prices , specially from Asian vendor. I probably pass on this as its not on my interest list, and I have half a dozen Hasegawa P-38's somewhere on my pile'o'models.
  14. Tamiya New Kit Preview Looks like a WW2 plane or something in the same line. In 1/48. Meh.
  15. I am ok with a P-38 but NOT ok with yet another 109.
  16. On Hyperscale it was posted that: "Stay tuned for a big announcement from Tamiya later in the week! " A new tool Mazinger Z???? Sleepy: is this what it is or just coincidence?????
  17. The Wolfpack update sets for the F-15 looks nice on the box but they have some dimensional issues,; for example, the LAU pylons are innacurrate (short in length). And I know what I am talking about because I have both the F-15C MISP and the F-15E OIF sets. Your best bet (and the one I finally took) is to get the Academy F-15E Seymour Johnson for cheap at EvilBay, these kits have the correct parts specific for both the F-15C & F-15E post-DS and TONS of weapons. You wont be disappointed.
  18. FYI, One Shot primers are just repackaged Badger's Stynelrez.
  19. A Gunship Gray F-15C??? Is that allowed?
  20. According to Trump, anyway: 2019 Fourth of July parade 😀
  21. Nice video series on the XIV, with Paul tips and some old-school modelling trickery it could (and will) be build into a nice replica of this lovely looking Spit. Mine should be arriving from Mega Hobby's warehouse anytime soon.
  22. Sorry but I got a Fastpass so I get the B-29 first and without queues....
