spacecraftcreator Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Hello all....wondering just how good this kit is over all. Has anyone built one up and what did you find with it ? Looking to find the best possible kit to use for an ORANG Redhawks model. Thanks, Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

spacecraftcreator Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 Thanks for that as I appreciate it.....anyone from a modeler's perspective in building the kit and it's particular characteristics ? Build-ability, accuracy, quirks etc. I watch these birds fly over my house almost daily and have followed the 142nd FW for years with great interest. This weekend is the OR International Airshow in Hillsboro so they will be putting on a show.... Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve built several GWH F-15 C/E’s and have no issues. I’ll be in Hillsboro this weekend too! Looking forward to a great show! And the RedHawks always put on a great show for the home town folks!

spacecraftcreator Posted May 19, 2023 Author Share Posted May 19, 2023 Good to know on the GWH kits....... may I ask about the Academy 12506 F-15C Eagle MSIP II 173rd Fighter Wing 1/72 Scale Model Kit ..... how does it stand up against other kits in that scale ? Enjoy the Airshow as it looks to be a good day for it. I can't be there due to our daughter moving tomorrow....sob.... Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Both kits have issues, but in my opinion the GWH is a better/easier build…just my two cents! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
