I just saw the front glare shield on your page....looks good! It also looks like there are some changes to the rear glare shield too! Are you seeing that as well? Are you going to change the IP for the EX as well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, WSO glare shield and both IPs are in the works 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

arnobiz Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Yes. My advice would be to build an SG and start an EX with the full set once released though 😁 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Matt Foley Posted May 27, 2021 Author Share Posted May 27, 2021 15 hours ago, arnobiz said: All IPs and glare shields are different actually, I'm working on them - it takes a lot of work as it's quite a fidly assembly between the cockpit tub, the fuselage, the IPs and the glare shields 🙂 The good news is that once this is done I will have most of the SA,QA and EX sets done 🥳 This is good news. While you are at it, do IP's for the latest F-15E configurations. They were last updated around 2014 I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shipping costs from Europe are very high and someone like Sprue Brothers might be interested in adding you as a manufacturer. I have been debating a purchase for your Rafale sets. They look very nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's basically done, I just need to put them up on the website lol 🙂 Regarding a US distributor, I have an exclusivity deal with The48ers so that's not coming soon, however shipping costs are EUR7.5 for orders below 60EUR and free above if you order from me directly 😉 I'm working hard to have enough references of interest to help you get free shipping believe me 🤣 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll probably have to order direct from you. Do you include tracking when you ship for free? That is something that is needed for international orders from anywhere.

arnobiz Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 😄 F-15C PASS is also in the pipeline, after the F-15E upgrade (post-2014) and the EX/QA and SA sets 😉 Arnaud Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Check out the F-15SA and it will have much of those exterior antenna. I think we will have to wait for kit makers to give is the details and/or the resin making crowd to get on the computer and 3d print details. We still do not have an accurate F-15E cockpit, so I doubt it will come anytime soon. Hello, Big thanks Matt. This explains why I not could see that much. (I probably was after those canted vertical fins and stuff like that 😃) Thank you. Eric B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fulcrum1 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 1.5 billion for 12 of them for FY22. Going to be interesting to see what it'll carry in the future. Good time to be a modeler. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
apapagos Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Does anyone know what is this and the function of it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arnobiz Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 MAWS forward antenna, similar to what the F-15SG, SA and QA have. These are looking forward, there are other similar sensors integrated in the tail booms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Da SWO Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 They keep saying single pilot operations, but I wonder how long before two-person crews become the standard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
