Ahhh...I was a Crew Chief in the Lancers from 94-03.  I remember when Blue was still a gun squadron.

We missed each other by about 10 years then.  It’s amazing how much the jet has evolved since it’s inception.  The F-15E is such an incredibly capable jet!  I’m glad it’s going to be around awhile.

She is a beast.  It brings too much to the fight.

Looks great!  

 

86-0186.  She was xfered to the 34th a couple years ago.  I crewed her for 6 years.  First production jet delivered & the 4th jet built.  She has “D” nuances.

Here’s the E I built from the I.  Model wise, same jet.

Sweet build my friend. I would love to see more photos and please include the base.  I need to work on having better display bases for shows, otherwise 1/48th Jets do not seem to catch the eye as much. The base draws the eyes in.

 

It is a privilege to have guys who served with these aircraft contributing to the forum, MrVark is another who I am thankful of service and the details that can be provided.

One more question: is it possible to make just from this kit JASDF F-15DJ, or should I buy GWH's F-15B/D for that?

I believe I would need new wheels, but maybe something more?

If you are trying to build an "E", get the "I" kit. You cant make the B/D kit into an "E" unless you have an aftermarket cockpit, CFT's, bombs and new missile rails and missiles, and wheels.

You need the B/D kit. Fighter twin tubs defer from the E in the cockpit and landing gear/ doors. Fin top counterbalances too and tail booms too if it's a early DJ.

The F-15K has GE (vs PW) engines - does the GWH kit have those parts?
