Supertom Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 Hi everybody, Do Italeri's 1/72 F-15s happen to be reboxed ESCI F-15s? Those are fun kits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vliegenier Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I don't know if they're ESCI's . In my opinion they come from the planet Crap ... Stef Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andre Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 It's their own mold, and, as Vliegenier stated, it's not the best 1/72nd Eagle in the world. Several shapes are suspect, the exhausts (featherless only) are rather crude and surface detailing is by heavy raised lines. In the One True Scale, stick with the Hasegawa or Academy kits. Cheers, Andre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vliegenier Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 That's not a very helpful answer. It is helpful in the way that it should be seen as a warning to stay away from them . If you're after a decent F-15 for a good price buy the Academy ! It's a very nice kit and in my opinion good enough not to pay the extra money for a Hasegawa - but that can depend upon your budget and wants . Stef Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ijozic Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 It's their own mold, and, as Vliegenier stated, it's not the best 1/72nd Eagle in the world. Several shapes are suspect, the exhausts (featherless only) are rather crude and surface detailing is by heavy raised lines. There's a reworked tooling with nice engraved lines, you know.. But don't know how can you tell which one is it apart from opening the box. And it's not that bad, IMHO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
