viperbite Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 All through the A/B model carreer this fairing was not changed, the aft fairing you show on the CAD is the C/D model. Oops, do you have any pics on this? Is it only the brake fairing or including panels around it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 RepliScale, many (many) years ago. There is not a single item on that sheet that is correct in the slightest. One of Repliscake's worst efforts. I have decals I made for myself specifically for 74-098 as she appeared on 15 Sep 85. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Check Six Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 IMHO, the Hasegawa 1/48th scale F-15E is actually a Delta. And a very nice Delta as well. Doing a little research to find who makes an accurate 1/48th scale F-15E led me to said Delta's conclusion. BTW; Revell, as it turns out, makes the most accurate 1/48th scale F-15E. So if you're in the market for a very nice 1/48th scale F-15D, check out the Hasegawa 1/48th scale F-15E :cheers:/> . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hasegawa had some shape problems, looks like the GWH kit solved most of them, nice accurate Charlie finally. Edited October 12, 2013 by Ol Crew Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ol Crew Dog Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Oops, do you have any pics on this? Is it only the brake fairing or including panels around it? The speedbrake rested on top of the fuselage and was faired in, not a well as usually depicted on all but Revell's Mudhen's. The difference between the aft speedbrake fairing of an A model to C model can be seen ion the Monograms A model and Hasegawa's C model in 1/48. Jake's book has pics as well as the detail in scale.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ol Crew Dog Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 I'll be getting two of these! Have their Mig-29 kit and it's a gem. When the C comes out I will be getting 6 one for every C I crewed.... CAD looks real accurate... Except the seats and a few minor bits.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Saber drains on pal 117 L an R appear to be missing from the CAD, these were on the aircraft till mid 90's these were removed no longer tortureing ground crew, wish halenthey had done this earlier would of saved me the scar on my back. pal 128 was removed from the C/D 1991-92 timeframe, after the Storm, some as late as 93. The secondary heat exchanger exhaust aft of the canopy (large louvered exhaust) is not a pronounced and was flush with the surrounding skin. As I remember things or noticed things on the CAD I will jot them down, Dave Whalen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vodnik Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 They are hinged on the aft side, they are bleed air doors,. Exactly. And on the CAD images they were hinged on the front side. But this error was supposedly already corrected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
razgriz Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Here's the sample at Pit Road's booth at the All Japan Model & Hobby Show. Didn't take any pics myself, sorry to say... http://www.fg-site.net/archives/3008653/3008648-image4 Edited October 12, 2013 by razgriz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gb_madcat_sl Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Yup. Looks like they fixed the bypass doors. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pookie Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Is that a separate plastic frame for the canopy I see? Is the rear ejection seat supposed to be buried in the cocpit like that? Looks weird. Edited October 12, 2013 by pookie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dedalus Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Is that a separate plastic frame for the canopy I see? Is the rear ejection seat supposed to be buried in the cocpit like that? Looks weird. Doesn't look like a separate frame to me--or they got it connected real good to the clear parts. There is a visible gap between the windscreen frame and the rest of the airframe, and between the canopy frame and the canopy clear section, but no gap between the frame and clear section of the canopy that I can see.

Vodnik Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Is that a separate plastic frame for the canopy I see? I believe the model is coated in a grey primer paint. The canopy was probably properly masked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Where are those, and what exactly are you seeing? Unless you were an F-15 crew chief, would you even notice the difference? Saber drains on pal 117 L an R appear to be missing from the CAD, these were on the aircraft till mid 90's these were removed no longer tortureing ground crew, wish halenthey had done this earlier would of saved me the scar on my back. Easy enough to add. pal 128 was removed from the C/D 1991-92 timeframe, after the Storm, some as late as 93. ????? The secondary heat exchanger exhaust aft of the canopy (large louvered exhaust) is not a pronounced and was flush with the surrounding skin. Here's hoping I won't have to open it up and scratch in the louvers like I've done on the Hasegawa kit! If it was see-through I'd be elated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nicholassagan Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 Anyone else notice it says DJ on the tag to the left? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 It's looking more to me like this is truly going to be an F-15D/DJ and then a C/J kit, and not cater to the A/B versions specifically. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wolfik.1971 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 sadly without the CFT´s... so i will build still my Academy F-15E to a D from the Wooden Leg operation in 1985. Im now on rebuild the academy cft´s to the Israeli type... although I dont think the IAF has these so quickly from their own Israeli production... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dmanton300 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Anyone else notice it says DJ on the tag to the left? The bigger giveaway was the AAM-3 missiles under the wings! I think Pit-Road plan to release it as a DJ in Japan, just as GWH have released the P-R Vulcan in the rest of the world. Oh, and look at the missile sprues. . more of the one part magic they worked on the R-27 and R-73 in the Fulcrum! Edited October 12, 2013 by Dmanton300 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 This is just great... I will be spending a lot in because of these releases. Mig-29 9.13 (i am yet to buy one), YF-23, F-15DJ, Mig-25, Su-33, Mig-31.... :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
