Looking forward to the stations 1&9 in the future as well! Hoops Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seen the quality of your products, may I suggest a replacement for the F-117 intakes in 1/48, not full-depth ones, just the mesh at the front for future development. The Tamiya kit lacks the depth to convey a sense of realism, and the photoetch alternatives don't capture the very peculiar geometry they have. A product like this may be at the limit of resin printing, and I don't know how popular it will be, but I certainly get one if it becomes available.

karl h Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 what about the 1:32 mirage intakes? thanx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fasteagle12 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I'd love to see a conversion to make the F-15 S/MTD and Active. I thought of tryng to scratch build one but I don't think my skills are up to it. Your other conversions look great! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
schottenbazi Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Please do Mirage III/5 and Kfir intakes and/or FOD covers in 1:48 first!!! 😏 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gary F Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Are the 2-D nozzles sided, ie, does it matter which side they get installed on on the kit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoops Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 29 minutes ago, Gary F said: Are the 2-D nozzles sided, ie, does it matter which side they get installed on on the kit? On the real aircraft, the nozzles are identical, but there are some differences in the fairings between the nozzles and the tail booms when compared to a normal F-15. If Arnaud included these fairings differences in the print, I would say their sided. If it's just the nozzle, then I'd say it's not. Hopefully he'll be able to answer.

arnobiz Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 As Hoops said, they are sided due to the fairing in-between nozzles and some rivetted reinforcements also differ on either side of each nozzle 😉 Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary F Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Thanks. I was thinking if the nozzle parts were symmetrical I might be able to use them elsewhere, individually. Either way, I’ve wanted to do one of these for many years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flanker27 Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 Will this work on Greatwall F-15B/D? or just Hasegawa? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arnobiz Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share Posted November 23, 2021 Only Hasegawa, which is cheaper and closer to early Eagles 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 (edited) Please pick the Italeri F-15E Strike Eagle in 1/72. I already have three, so can easily devote one to the STOL/MTD bird. Edited November 26, 2021 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fasteagle12 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 I went to BAM's website and it states that the set is 'currently out of stock and unavailable'. Please tell me you're doing more........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arnobiz Posted November 26, 2021 Author Share Posted November 26, 2021 I will make more 😅, I'm just working on the product page to add the open speedbrake option and it seems to have upset the stock level 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fasteagle12 Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Great, Thanks! Looks like it will be a popular set... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
