Hasegawa F-15C 1/48

[BLACKSHEEP]

Hi, can anyone tell me how much work a Hasegawa F-15C needs to make an accurate representation of an F-15C in current deployment? I know the Revell Kit only takes a few mods to represent an E model but i would also like to do an up to date C in 1-48th .

I think Wolfpack makes a set specifically designed to bring the Hasegawa C (which came out in the mid-80s) up to MSIP standards. In any event, it's mostly just antennas and some small cockpit mods that nobody is going to see anyway...

Assuming you're talking a USAF jet, then add antennas on the nose and right tail, chaff/flare dispensers, and LAU-128 rails under the wings, remove the tail hook fairing and JFS grill, modify the right , rear formation strip light, and add the MPCD to the instrument panel and canopy piercers to the seat, plus replace the stick grip. In addition, some of the antenna shapes vary ('square" or shark fin), depending on time frame and airframe as they are replaced; so check photos for that. Depending on the boxing, some of the Hasegawa kits have engine nozzles with "turkey feathers," while some include the later configuration without them.

Thanks, Murph.

That's a neat summary, but I like your avatar even more. ;)

Cheers, Stefan.
