11bee Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Looks like the F-15E has a new sensor pod that they are starting to deploy with. Would be pretty cool to see this in resin, along with the new SDB II minature smart bombs that the Strike Eagle will be using soon (or possibly already, per the linked article). https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/28924/nearly-all-f-15es-photographed-arriving-in-middle-east-carried-dragons-eye-radar-pods Quote Link to post Share on other sites
picknpluck Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Damn...I really ought to dig into my Revell mud hen. It's been languishing in my stash for a couple of years now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airmechaja Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 The Dragon's Eye pod sounds awesome. Good article. picknpluck, I recently did just that with the old Revell offering and used Caracal's new decals which are very nice. Wish I would have had the new pod but used a Sniper pod I had.

I've read the Revell kit is only correct for a DS-era mud hen out of the box. Did you add aftermarket parts to yours to bring it up to modern specs? If so, what parts did you use? I know jack and squat about mud hens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I believe the Wolfpack OIF update set will pretty much get you up to par, but I could be wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sigh. Time flies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your Strike Eagle looks great! Can you share a few photos over at my forum in this sheet's thread? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, It's not too late. I believe the aircraft in the photo at the top of the article has the Sniper pod in its usual location (like on your model) and the Dragon's Eye pod on the centerline pylon. So, when it becomes available, you could add it to the centerline. Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
airmechaja Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 You are correct. But I will build another with different nose art. Many to choose from on Kursad's sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
