fulcrum1 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Every F-15 I buy from here on out will be the GWH kit. Superb model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
galfa Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Both for accuracy and fit Hasegawa, hands down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jester292 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Both for accuracy and fit Hasegawa, hands down. Ummmm what? Not that Hasegawas is a bad kit, but I'd argue the GWH has way better fit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gb_madcat_sl Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Great Wall Hobby, hands down. No pilot included though. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CF104 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Both for accuracy and fit Hasegawa, hands down. I've built both and GWH is king here as far as fit is concerned. Although it doesn't have a pilot... :deadhorse1:/>/> which makes it unbuildable for some. :trolls:/> Cheers, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airmechaja Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 No questioning, GWH is superior. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks in advance Ed Ed, The Hasegawa Eagle is cheaper and more accurate than the Great Wall Models.

For an elaboration of pro & cos follow this link: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=268241&st=360 I might be confused but the OP is asking about the "C" model. The article is about the B,D & E. Right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Both for accuracy and fit it does not make a difference because the only difference worth of mention between a "C" and a "D" is the canopy and the the second cockpit. Main airframe an smaller details are the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

edward Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Thanks Guys, I will think I will try the Great Wall kit. Now to see if I can pick one up here in Canada. Ed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Swordsman422 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 What!? No pilot in the GWH kit!? Well, that's just ridiculous! How the hell am I supposed to build an F-15 in flight without a pilot figure to stick in the cockpit!? THis is just outrageous. I'm going to make absolute certain that... Hey, look at that. Oh... Well, then... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murph Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 the only difference worth of mention between a "C" and a "D" is the canopy and the the second cockpit. Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? Regards, Murph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 As you can see, the vast majority of people view the GWH as the superior kit. I'm not a big Eagle fan, but I'm tempted to get one because of how nice it is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkJester Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Is 93 bucks about the average for that Kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Is 93 bucks about the average for that Kit? Pretty much, though you can find it from at least one Asian distributor for about $75. The Hasegawa can be found for about $50-60 if your budget is more limited. Steven Brown Scale Model Soup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
