strikeeagle48 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Thought this might be interesting, I'm at the paint barn stage of my F-15 B/D build,I've got a couple of decal options,just can't decide which one! Whichever one you choose will be done!? I'll wait until Sat Aug 23rd. Look forward to the results. Thanks Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

strikeeagle48 Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 No prizes for guessing which one I'm thinking of Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpagueur Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I voted Iceland (Keflavik) F-15Ds, as they very often mount the CFTs onboard. cheers, Luca Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan_Lotton Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 It'd go with the old school Bitburg, dont see too many ghost gray Eagles modeled anymore. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Two Mikes Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 If you go Bitburg I think I know of someone who can help you with specifics.... Check out my username :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jmel Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Another vote for Mountain Home. It's got some neat artwork in the rear cockpit. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ham Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I would have voted for 18 TFW (Kadena) or 555 TFTS (Luke) but they weren't in the poll. As previously stated, the 57 FIS F-15's I saw at Keflavik had CFT's mounted (1994-95). Also, the A/B's have different wheels & brakes (12 hole wheels) and I think the Has kit only gives you the C/D type (8 hole wheels). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh1971 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 493rd FS!!! I'll be doing my D as a Grim Reaper. JB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle48 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 (edited) Iceland running away with it! Fitting the CFT's will be fun I bet.I've just looked and I have the Superscale sheet with the older 57 FIS markings,does anyone have an Astra/Daco sheet in 1/48 they would like to trade? Bet you all thought I voted 493rd didn't ya?Well I voted MO using Afterburners fantastic "Wild Boars" sheet!! Might do this more often. Thanks for the replies so far and the offer of help from Mr Mike Reeves,might just hold you to that Jon Fl ANG hhmmm!! Edited August 17, 2008 by strikeeagle48 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle48 Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 (edited) Thought it might help to show you what I'm talking about. All primered and waiting.I have two sets of LAU rails made up older and newer,also aWolfpack D MSIP update set should it call for it,if Iceland wins I'll have to rob the CFT's from an E kit. Thanks Jon Edited August 17, 2008 by strikeeagle48 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spölle Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 I voted for the F-15D of 493rd FS from LN! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DonSS3 Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 After two VP deployments to Kef and being stationed there for two years, my vote was pretty obvious! If you need some detail photos of an F-15 with CFTs: http://s20.photobucket.com/albums/b229/DDo.../F-15C%20Eagle/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle48 Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 Wow!Thanks for the link very much appreciated I've just finished cleaning up the CFT's and Launchers,was just about to start googling because by the looks of it Kef is the one thats gonna be built?! And black intake covers aswell.Very nice. Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DonSS3 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Thanks for the photo comments I hope they're helpful to you. I took those on a July 4 sometime in the early 90s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle48 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 They are fantastic pictures Don,I'll use them to get the LAU's in the right position on the CFT's and for weathering,by the looks of it they were quite clean Eagles? Thanks again.Maybe one of the decal producers will use them for an "old school F-15 sheet?" Right click save!! :) Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DonSS3 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Nice pics,do you have anymore stashed away??. Unfortunately, those are all I've got scanned and uploaded. Altho, I think for closeups, that's about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle48 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Hey Mungo, Thought you might like this one!Hope your OK mate? Well seeing as it looks like its gonna be a landslide to the 57 FIS,i've built up the CFT's and ordered a set of Kef decals direct from Danny at Daco. Still a couple of days left for a turnaround.
