Great Wall Hobby 1/48 F-15B/D


Recommended Posts

It has a separate forward fuselage so an A/C is inevitable, plus they'd be insane not to do one.

For an accurate A model they would need to modify the aft fuselage as well, not just put a singles seater nose barrel on an aft fuselage for a C/D.

Check it When it is released, I guess ICANN be the ultimate critic on theF-15

The major difference would be the aft speedbrake fairing, this is a major noticeable sufferance between the A /B and C/D models.

The whole fairing would be different but that part would be the most noticeable.

Overly critical would be panel arrangement, I for one probably will not break out my panel charts but.....

Depending on time frame the JFS exhaust on the belly would have the louvred. They had the louvred till after the storm, same goes with pnl 128 (hook fairing).

Let me think, it's been awhile but just those came to mind.

Cheers

An A/C would be fantastic. I mean, Hasegawa's is nice but having a single seater to the same standards as the MiG-29 would just be fantastic

They'll do single seat version. Yes, I am helping them to develop this project. And the tier one version of test-shot just arrived. I can not upload pics yet, but all I can say is that what good you've seen on the CAD pic is all there, what wrong on the CAD will be solved in tier two test-shot

Jin! That's great news! So the 2nd tier test shot will have the proper orientation for those topside intake vents?

Would you mind posting any updates in this thread so info can remain consolidated?

What intake vents? Got to loll at the CAD again?

The vent problem is already solved in tier one, in tier two we'll continue some other minor mistakes.

I'll keep you updated when I have something in this thread.

Dose the brake fairing only matter on the very early type of A/B? Current A/B's just look like same as C/D's.

All through the A/B model carreer this fairing was not changed, the aft fairing you show on the CAD is the C/D model.

The Blow in Doors look correct, flush when engines are running but droop when Hydraulic pressure is lost after shutdown. What do you see that is wrong?

We would be able to push them to check the FOD screen underneath on BPO.

I think Kitty Hawk has them backwards.

What??? And leave nothing for the "experts" to complain about?

Good luck to GWH on this series, hope it sells well for them.

Viperbite - do you know how the parts breakdown around the cannon opening will be done? The Hasegawa kit has a seam line running right through it that's a right royal PITA to fix.

Can't wait to finally be able to do justice to 74-098, which helped get the first high quality video and daytime close-up stills of a Bear-H on 15 Sept 85 (and in which I had a small role)!

Oops. Yeah GWH.

Anyway I'm getting confused now. There's photo evidence that the doors are backwards but the ex-crew chief says they're ok. What gives?

Mark

You get more confused as you get older, I miss understood, I'll go drool in my cup now..........
