RedCrown Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 does anyone know of a source for accurate panel line drawings for the F-15c. I'm rescribing the Monogram kit and was using the existing raised lines as a guide to go by, but then I opened up my Hasegawa kit, and there are quite a few differences between them. Anyone know which kit would have the more accurate panels, probably the Hasegawa kit i'm guessing. TIA, Rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Uncool Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Hi there, Rick! :wub: I've gotten to learn most people rescribing the Monogram kit have resorted to the decal instructions sheet on Hasegawa's 1/48th scale F-15C. Don't know whether ya've seen FEDE's Eagle on the In-Progress Pics section of this forum: FEDE Guy's Monogram F-15 conversion He's using the Monogram 1/48th scale F-15A kit as a base to convert it into a C. Take a look at whut a good job he's doin.' Cheers, Rick! Unc² Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff C Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 I've compared a number of different drawings to my own photos and IMHO the drawings in the Verlinden Lockon book have been the most accurate. -Cliff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drhornii Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Not sure how accurate they are but Hobby Decal has some good downloads of line & stencil data. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Not sure how accurate they are but Hobby Decal has some good downloads of line & stencil data. They're not. They're pretty awful actually. J Quote Link to post Share on other sites

drhornii Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 (edited) They're not. They're pretty awful actually.J That is good to know. Wonder if they are a mix of various kit panel line locations instead of actual aircraft lines. If it is for stencil locations, I can see it being based on kit lines.....and not having to be spot on. Thanks again Jennings Edited May 29, 2010 by drhornii Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 That is good to know. Wonder if they are a mix of various kit panel line locations instead of actual aircraft lines. They pretty much are. It's really tough to find accurate scale drawings of jets anywhere. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
