I have some pe and resin update parts. what would be an accurate weapons load out for the brown scheme? https://www.reidairpublishing.com/speed-hunter-graphics-132-decals/big-scale-eagles F-15C 78-0480, 144th Fighter Wing, Fresno, California, January 2016 *former 65th AGRS jet in brown camo* And is there a good walk around for a c from this era? Want to find out about reinforcement plates...etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ORANGF15Guy Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 ACMI pod, CATM AIM -9X and CATM-AIM 120 x 2. I think I have some pictures of the jet on SHG sheet when they were training at Kingsley Field with the ORANG . I’ll check and let you know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 For the aggressor squadrons the A.C.M.I. pod and the centerline tank. I think the amount and type of dummy missiles would depend on what the mission plan was and who they were playing with. You would rarely see three tanks on F-15s unless they had a very long way to go I have only seen three tanks carried twice, when the Shogun team left Kadena for William Tell, and when our squadron got in their ships. They came complete. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jetman86 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 thanks for the info guys! :) i will do an in-progress thread on the build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 ACMI pods aren't really carried by the 144th guys unless they're using a range so equipped (Nellis, for example). Around Fresno, it's a mix of CATM-9Ms, -9X, and CATM-120s. They also have an alert duty, so load them up with live ordnance if you'd like. For a walk around of Eagles, try The Modern Eagle Guide. https://www.reidairpublishing.com/books/the-modern-eagle-guide-2nd-edition Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jetman86 Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 So now here is a question...where can you get an accurate fuel tank from? I have read that the one in the box is not the correct shape Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have read that the one in the box is not the correct shape Tamiya included new better tanks in the F-15E Bunker Buster release, but they still weren’t quite right. The centerline tank in the new tool Revell F-4 kits is correct and is the same tank. Cutting Edge (long OOP) made resin copies of the Revell tank. Currently, I believe GT resin makes correct tanks.
