f12aaa Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Hi guys, I'd like to know what you think about the quality of the GWH F-15I decals sheet. Many thanks for your suggestions! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Isradecal and sky make sheets. Never used any GWH sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f12aaa Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 Yes, but they are hard to find and the whole GWH kit costs almost double than the good Academy kit with Cartograf decals... so I'd like to know if any guy in the forums has experience with the manufacturer sheet. Isradecal and sky make sheets. Never used any GWH sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Solo Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) Decals in this kit are excellent. Printing quality is really on top level, similar to Cartograf sheets. The film is very thin and matt. The colours are vivid and the stencils are detailed. I have no information how those decals work during application, so I can help in this matter. Below please find scan of one of those sheet. Edited August 20, 2016 by Solo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Manuel J. Armas S. Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 This F-15I have a wrong cockpit and main wheels, and missing some details for the F-15I, the CFT could be better. Those decals have a dark stencils for current F-15I, the first F-15I have a light gray for stencils, and the Eagle is to yellow to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f12aaa Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the note Manuel, I will certainly replace the cockpit and the wheels. Could you please tell me which details are missing? Thanks, Simone. This F-15I have a wrong cockpit and main wheels, and missing some details for the F-15I, the CFT could be better.

Manuel J. Armas S. Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 What is wrong with the cockpit? Is a cockpit for F-15E no F-15I :wacko: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
polybebber Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Is a cockpit for F-15E no F-15I :wacko:/> While I admire your knowledge, would you mind sharing more of it by going just a bit further and tell us WHAT exactly the differences are? Oh, sorry, I forgot that Google is my friend. Lothar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Falconxlvi Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 (edited) The only thing that looks different from a USAF F-15E is the black color below the instrument panels. Most USAF jets have the updated UFC (Up Front Controller - the data entry flat screen display at the top of the IP for the pilot and on the bottom right of the IP for the WSO) in both cockpits shown in the pic above. Otherwise, I'm having a hard time spotting any differences. Too bad the kit only provides the older UFC, but that's an easy fix, and probably accurate for the "early" marking option in the F-15I kit as well. I will have to look into the side console differences a little more. Edited August 23, 2016 by Falconxlvi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 hmmm... I do not know this F-15I package per se but the pit-road F-15J (with the 2013 tac meet decals) is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! The decals are simply awesome. I can easily say the best that comes out of a box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or is it found on any other kit? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
