F-15 Early Years Reprint in 1/48


Recommended Posts

Any chance at all for a reprint of the F-15 Early Years sheet in 1/48?  I missed out as I was on a modeling hiatus, and I really want to do Streak Eagle and an Air Superiority Blue jet.   Decals for these are few and far between, and I've not been able to source a sheet on the second-hand market. 

 

Otherwise, does anyone have a sheet they'd like to part with?

Agreed!  With Streak Eagle finally going on display at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force next week, it would be a very appropriate re-release!  (Not too mention want this set badly and missed it the first time 😄)

I saw the Streak Eagle on display at the AF Museum in the early 80's but it was painted and on display outside.  Have they stripped it as it was during the record attempts and are moving it inside?

In my opinion this is the best of Kursad's "The Early Years" decals series in 1/48 scale. I have already built 71-0283 white/orange and 71-0284 air superiority blue examples and the decals really make both the models look good. I think I have enough left on the sheet to build 71-0280 (the first F-15 prototype) as well as one of the Luke based '73' fiscal Eagles again in air superiority blue.

Yeah, it looks like I will have to reprint this soon, too.

I'd love to see a reprint of the 1/48 F-16 Viper Early Years as well!
