falcon91352 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 PK Productions just released their first F-15 Eagle high quality decals in 1:48 scale. The printing quality is suberb, which is done by Carograph. Even the smallest stencil is readable. I will get my copies next weekend and will show more details here later. Ordering can be done at the homepage of PK Productions https://www.pkproductions.de/shop/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nebbor Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) Just visited the site and although it states compatibility with GWH and Hasegawa I am pretty sure the Hasegawa IFR door is dimensional different than the GWH one as well as the Academy rendition. So the question is: what kit is the IFR door sized for? Only one size provided. Edited July 13, 2022 by Nebbor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon91352 Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 The IFR door decals are sized for the GWH kit. The one of the Hasegawa kit is not accurate and should be rescribed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon91352 Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Yesterday, I picked up my PK Productions F-15 decals sheets in 1:48 and I am very impressed! The producer has a very good eye for accuracy and the printing quality by Cartograph literally is stunning. Sheet No. 48-001 is devoted to the stencils of F-15 Eagle in the early ghost grey scheme. It is a very comprehensive sheet. The carrier film is very thin and trimming is almost not necessary, because the carrier film virtually does not stand out of the marking. For the first time, all three US national insignia carried by USAFE Eagles are accurately covered. Eagles in the original scheme, which were painted in the factory, usually were covered with the whole bunch of panel numbers. Those are presented on the sheet as well. Beside this, the NO STEP and NO PUSH honeycomb marking are covered in the early yellow and later black versions. Let´s take a look on the pictures Edited July 17, 2022 by falcon91352 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon91352 Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Forgot to mention that a colored instruction manual is included in the package. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon91352 Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 Sheet 48-002 is named "Eagle Country Bitburg/ Spangdahlem", which contains general markings for a plethora of different F-15A/C/D and stencils for Eagles in the later Mod-Eagle scheme. An interesting fact is, that the producer has been grown up in a small village in the Eifel, which is located in the approach of former Bitburg Air Base. Since a couple of years, he lives in a town which is situated in the approach of Spangdahlem Air Base. However, due to his young age, he never has seen operational Eagles of the 36th or 52nd (T)FW.

falcon91352 Posted July 17, 2022 Author Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) As with the stencils sheet, the quality is top notch! An interesting fact is, that two differnet styles of SP tail codes can be found, which never was considered before on a decal sheet of 52nd FW Eagles. Wing and squadron badges are in the correct size and style, as with the national insignia. Both were often mishappen on previous Eagle decal sheets. Even the accuracy of tail numbers and codes are leaving a lot to be desired on many F-15 sheets, even on some aftermarket ones. On the PK Production sheet, these are perfectly matched and tested for accuracy on the GWH kit. However, those are fitting with no problems on other quarter scale Eagle kits as well.

PascalK Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Thank you so much Christian! This is a great review of my decal sets. I spent so many hours on this sheet… but I’m crazy in love with the former Home of the Eagle Bitburg. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
