Ollie T-Y Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 what is this kit like to build? What decal options are there, and what do i need to do to make it an F-15C? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toadwbg Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 This is a classic Monogram kit. Very good kit, good outline and details. Good fit. Has raised panel lines. I'm not an F-15 expert, but the I am certain the only major exterior difference is the engines. Someone else can fill in the engine details. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 these still made?---where can I find one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chek Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 (edited) It depends what's in the box. Revell issued an F-15A as one of the first of a new range of 1/48 scale kits in the late 70's, about the same time as the F-4E (like a scaled down 1/32 version with the same faults) a MiG-21, P-51 and B-17. Quality-wise the general consensus was that they were like scaled up 1/72 scale kits, without much additional detail. The MiG-21PFM was regarded as the most accurate if I recall correctly. If it's a reboxed Monogram version, that is generally regarded as the most accurate, shape-wise, but it has raised panel lines (as does the late 70's F-15A). But given Revells history of releasing both Hasegawa and Monogram moulds recently, it would be best to have a look in the box. I think the Monogram kit contains a crew ladder, and the Hasegawa one has engraved panel lines. If it has neither, then it may well be the 70's kit and is best avoided. There are far better ones on the market now. Again I'm not an expert either, but I think the A model has the turkey feathers on the engines, and the C has the exposed engines. Also the wheels on the C are to a different pattern. Edited July 29, 2006 by chek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
john53 Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 would the 1/48 Revell "Yeager Super Fighters F-15" be an F-15A? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollie T-Y Posted July 29, 2006 Author Share Posted July 29, 2006 Grr, thats a disappointment, im scared of raised panel lines!!

Viperguy Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 It's the original Revell F15A, not a reboxed Monogram kit. I know, I have two of them. Gonna build it anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
