This is the pylon i need to get

Ok, just bought an hasegawa F-15E kit off ebay. The kit is the one with the european lizard camo and an option to do a D model also. We will see if the pylons match the pictures in this thread

Ok, but I am just wondering if the weapon pylons are the same as in the pictures. The tips of the front pylon are angled backwards, to where all the other weapon pylons that go on CFTs are angled forwards. Thanks for the tip on the old hasegawa kits Jeff

Looking at the weapons pylons on the CFT's, where could one acquire those? The Eduard Kit that I have (Academy kit) does not have them in there. Possibly aftermarket? Not really sure where to look. I'll check out Isradecal but could use some suggestions Thanks Jeff

Thanks, that what i thought Jeff

Is there a digital pod required to use the AGM 142 popeye missile? One of the weapons I am considering for my Isreali F-15D project in the future Jeff

For the F-15s carrying JDAMS, Im assuming they already have the targets in mind before the mission starts? Our AN/AAQ 28 Litening pod can designate GPS coordinates for the JDAMs or can also be pre programmed before hand. Do you think the F-15C,Ds in Israeli service would ever carry a targeting pod, or is that strictly for the F-15Is? Don't the Israeli's have something to do with the manufacturing of our targeting pods other than our Sniper pods? Jeff

Thanks Jeff

Just ordered one online. Thanks again Jeff

Thank you for the pics. I think that pod on the left CFT front station is some sort of ECM pod but am not 100% on that. Do you think they are still using the AIM 9M's as well? Jeff

When do you think this pic was taken? Is the Mod Eagle scheme the same one our F-15s are painted? Im looking at the F-15D in the picture. Im seeing AIM 7 Sparrow missiles, AGM 142 on the wing pylon, I assume and some sort of targeting pod on the station below the CFT. I thought the Israeli's used the AMRAAM 120's. That dome behind the rear pilot, is that some sort of communications dome? Great pic Thanks Jeff

Are all Israeli F-15Ds using the Light ghost grey base color with the dark ghost grey colors schemes? Was thinking about doing a solid darker grey. Maybe even dark ghost grey with no other accents. Guess I'll use modelers prerogative and do something a little different but still looks like it was supposed to be that way Any pics or thoughts would be appreciated Jeff

Thanks Jeff

Any links?

Thanks Jeff

Where would one get that R2D2 dome to add to a kit?

Here's another ? Do the Isreali F-15D, I and what other variants they use , use the GPS domes like our F-15s do? Thanks Jeff

Good info. Thanks

Just the Saudi's and south koreans then

So those are PW engines then? Maybe older versions?

Thanks

The F-15I look like they have the GE engines. Not the same nozzles as the rest of their F-15Ds. Looks like the turkey feather, to where the PW engines have the actuating mechanisms and rods that open the and close the engine nozzles. I don't know, maybe I am wrong and they are all PW engines

What is AFAIK ?

saw a video of some Israeli F-15s flying in the UK. Looks like they all had the PW engines. Do you know what an average AA loadout would've been for the 90s or later era? I guess they were armed with Sparrows and Sidewinders in the 80s and some Pythons thrown in there to. Maybe Python 3s in the 80s and Python 4 in the 90s but not sure

I was kind of curious when the Israelis made the change to the GE engines over the Pratt and Whitney engines? I plan on doing a F-15D from like the 90s or around that time frame. I bought the Eduard kit that has the Israeli decals and instructions. Have some GE engine nozzles and afterburner tubes from my other Academy kits. The instructions for the Israeli F-15D shows the PW engine nozzles. Was also planning on using some Python 4s and AMRAAM 120Bs. Would that be an appropriate weapon load for air to air? Thanks for any info Jeff
