GWH F-15 E Converted to F-15 EX


Recommended Posts

Worked on some of the Phase Hanger parts that I’m using for this build…..first is the seamless gun fairing.   It’s one piece and so you don’t have to try to sand that hard to get to seam.  
I will also be using Phase Hanger pylons for both wings and center pylon that will have a Sniper Pod mounted.  
All of these parts are excellent! And I will be using Phase Hangers external tanks!

OrangeF15Guy,

 

Wow!

 

Thats looking good.

 

I’ve got the Phase-Hanger gun replacement. So it’s encouraging to see it work so well on a build. 
 

Thank you for posting your progress. 
 

Take care,

 

Mr. Happy

No Worries Mr. Happy,

I should have some pictures of Phase Hangers F-15 drop tanks up soon…..and they are as good as the pylon set and the no seam gun faring!

Following this build with interest,need to suck it up and buy the Bam models set and the Phase stuff

The BAM Models stuff is excellent!  I just ordered a couple sets of the F-15 PASS mod sets.  The pylon set, drop tank set and the gun faring sets from Phase Hanger will enhance any F-15 model that you do…..both highly recommended!

After priming I realized that some of the raised rivet detail was sanded on the MAWS booms, so pulled out some Archer transfers and fixed the problem.  I also noticed that I did the same thing on the Phase Hanger drop tanks, so fixed that as well!

Looking Sh!t hot there Sir. I think I found a use for the new F-15E kit I have coming in the (literal) slow boat from China. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Aaron!

I felt the same way, and then I found the BAM conversion!  It’s been a fun project so far……it’s going to be a missile truck for sure!  12 AIM-120’s for sure and maybe more!

Well, after adding all of the resin that is going to be in this build, I thought it might be prudent to beef up the landing gear, so I ordered the Up Wind set for the F-15E/I/K/S for the GWH kit!  Very impressed with the quality of these legs, not at all like the SAC stuff.   Because this model will be on the ground, the one thing that is missing is a boarding ladder so I went with the Plus Model ladder, again it’s an excellent replication of a F-15 boarding ladder!  Lastly, this bird will be loaded for Air-to-Air with a total of 12 AIM-120C’s.

That’s it for now….trying to get some primer on her so I can start to lay the color down, more soon!

Oregon ANG Markings?

That was the plan…….but my contacts at Kingsley haven’t received any tail number information yet, so I may build another EX so I can get it 100% right.  Sounds like Caracal is talking about doing a sheet for line jets for both the 173d and 142d from Oregon!  So my back up is to do one of the test jets!

Do they have a delivery date yet?  I thought the 12 in this years budget were going to them.

Finally got some primer on this beast so I can check my work……then it’s on to paint shop for some MOD Eagle paint!  I’m also starting to put together the 12 AIM-120’s

Go the full missile truck idea Boeing sold to the Air Force.

Add Wing Stations 1/9 for another four AIM-120,so 2x AIM-9X,18X Slammers maybe a Legion Pod on the centreline. 

End result one bad Eagle.
