Flyboy3394 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Has anyone thought about or tried to build/modify an F-15 Advanced? I love the idea of a 16+ missile laden F15 sitting on my shelf. Where would one start for something like this? Edited September 22, 2017 by Flyboy3394 addition Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconxlvi Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) You could modify the F/A-18 LAU-115 dual AMRAAM launchers available from Attack squadron and probably get something close. You would have to scratch build the quad launcher out of two of them. 1/48 AMRAAMs are available in 2 packs from Eduard or I think you get 6 of them in the newest Hasegawa weapons set. It would be a cool project! Steve Edited September 23, 2017 by Falconxlvi Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then just gotta figure out the double AMRAAM pylons on the underside but again, scratch build something and glue em on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Camus272 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 The Hasegawa Weapons E kit has four of the dual launchers and 8 AMRAAMS, so two of the kits would do it, and you would get the other weapons as well. The pylon looks like a pretty standard E long pylon, so I don't think it would take much work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like E only comes with 4 AMRAAMs. Which at $27 a pop, would make this an extremely expensive venture. Wonder if i could but one of those weapon sets, and copy/cast them in resin to duplicate the rest of the 16? Would be time consuming and tricky, but much less expensive than buying many weapon packs.

Now I am wrong. On a couple of the sites to buy E, it shows 8 missiles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboy3394 Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Pricing this out with a Great Wall F15c as the base aircraft, and adding up everything as follows. - GWH F15c: $82 -2x Hasegawa Weapon E packs @ 20 a pop: $40 -2x Attack Squadron LAU115/127 dual launcher kits: $17 -a burner f15e kit to pull FAST packs/CFTs from: $30 Total: +/-$173 bucks Gotta find a less expensive way. Obviously the kit can be interchanged. But I hear its the best f15c in 1/48 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airmechaja Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 The GWH kit IS very nice. Dean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
