Ollie 17 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I want to do a 1/32 F-15C. Tamiya makes a great kit of this but the top fuselage half has the JFS for a E model and they are not on the C model. Is there anyway to remove these to add the correct JFS? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary F Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Ollie, The C mods for the Tamiya kit have been well documented by a couple folks in the In Progress section ... May have to search back a ways but they are in there. You might also look in the Gallery --- Jets --- F-15 And look for builds of the Tamiya kit ... probably in one of those also. I'm sure I've copied them to a folder on my computer but I'm on my phone right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 It's a pretty easy fix. Just find some good references and rescribe the area. time-consuming, but easily within the means of the average modeler. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manuel J. Armas S. Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 And Italeri kit?... <_< any comment for this kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harv Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 And Italeri kit?... <_</> any comment for this kit? Huh. Didn't know Italeri made a 1/32 F-15C kit. Care to provide details? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geedubelyer Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Hi Ollie, As Jake and Gary suggested it is a relatively easy fix. I filled the -E openings then opened up a single larger hole using The Modern Eagle guide for reference. (Be aware that the position of the chimney on the -C varied at times so check pics of the bird you wish to build if poss.)A little etched mesh and the job was done. Seehere for how I tackled it. HTH and enjoy your project. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Manuel J. Armas S. Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Huh. Didn't know Italeri made a 1/32 F-15C kit. Care to provide details? 1/48 I was thinking... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 :doh:/> 1/48 I was thinking... :whistle:/> IIRC that was a rebox of the Fujimi kit... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andre Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 IIRC that was a rebox of the Fujimi kit... Nope, it's their own mold. Review here. Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
