Raptor.777

I would love an extra set. Let me know if you need any $ for them. I dont have paypal though, so will have to figure something out. Need tail # 82 0046. Sent Habu2 a message also, but hasnt gotten back to me yet.

sent you a PM. Let me know if you got it Thanks again Jeff

How much $ would you want for the 82-0046? Found some of that exact sheet but missing that tail # Let me know Thanks Jeff

I just checked my stash, the only one I have is from my old Academy F-15C MSIP II, that is only for the C model. Guess I'll have to do some more digging in my stash and online

Do you have them in case i cant find the one I think I have in my stash? Jeff

I actually think i may have one in my stash actually looking at the samples given. Either way, I will let you know

Thanks man. Let me know if you have them Jeff

I guess I shouldve been more specific. Im looking for F-15D decals from the Oregon ANG Jeff

Trying to get all my goodies together for this build. Does caracal make these decals? Thanks Jeff

Thanks, that's a pretty cool site

Seeings how the MM series of paints is discontinued, I have been slowly transitioning to Tamiya spray paints and bottle paints. Can't seem to find a Navy aggressor grey in the Taniya line. It will be for F-15C and F-15D with the darker blue/grey on top of it. Any ideas? Thanks Jeff

I can find lots of front cockpit photos, but nothing for the rear. I bought another Academy F-15E in 1/48 scale. Bought it mainly for weapons and decals. I have left over weapons from other F-15 kits also. I was told the Academy kit doesnt truly represent the true shape of an F-15e, but was told it will make a good F-15D model. I also bought the eduard kit with all resin and PE parts but might make that an Isreali F-15D.

Was looking to get up to date photos of what current F-15D cockpit layout looks like, front and rear. Did a little bit of searching last night but not so good of luck. Any photos would be appreciated Jeff

Was actually going to do the D. Like all the photo etch and resin parts. May turn it into a USAF D model or Isreali D, not sure yet. Who makes a good set of USAF D decals?

Does Eduard do their own manufacturing? Looking at an F-15D/E kit on ebay. Looks pretty good. Almost looks like Hasegawa kit Thanks Jeff

I had asked a simular question about the infrared seeker heads on the AGM 65 Maverick missiles. One guy mentioned mixing Tamiya clear orange and Tamiya clear blue together made like this greenish brownish color. I supposed you could play with the ratios and decide for yourself. Looks pretty close Jeff

Then it might make a pretty D model then. I didn't know about the engine humps. Thought they were all the same

What is everyone's opinion on the Academy F-15E in 1/48? I have built 1 already but I think the kit might make a good representation of a F-15D. Has all the cockpit instrument panels, not sure about the side consoles though? Has all the modern weapons. Just a thought

I have some left over sprues from some Academy kits that I can use all the proper missile rails, blade attenas and such. Where would one look for some pictures of modern F-15C MSIP II? Need to locate all the antennas and such. Will have to make a GPS dome from scratch I guess. Thanks Jeff

Also have some sprues left over from another Hasegawa F-18F I bought for a parts kit. They have the control sticks I need for the left and right consoles for the rear cockpit

Sure looks like it from the videos i have been watching of marine corp F18C and D Hornets. May have to forego the pilot figures. The resin seats have a lot of cool details

I would also assume that the ejection seats that come in the kit are not the correct ones either? I have the Wolfpack Designs update kit for this particular model kit with all the corrected parts along with the ejection seats. I was hoping to use pilot figures in this kit but with the resin seats, will have to file and sand off all the seat belts

Thank you for the info. Didnt know about control stick on the right side

So from the photos i have seen, doesnt look like the F18D has a control column , just the one on the left side console. Could someone confirm this for me? Thanks

I am worling on said model. Using the Eduard zoom color photo etch for the cockpit. Instructions say for the rear cockpit, to cit the control portion of the control stick and place on the left console. I am assuming for weapons control and controllong FLIR pod. The pilot or weapon systrm officer in back seat can not fly thr aircraft or is that control stick on left side console capable of flying aircraft? Thanks Jeff
