I think like O.I.F F-15E kit looking good....I like MMZ finish photo ACADEMY EUROPE 1 ACADEMY EUROPE 2 ACADEMY EUROPE 3 ACADEMY EUROPE 4 ACADEMY EUROPE 5 ACADEMY EUROPE 6 ACADEMY F-15C OFFICE WEB ACADEMY USA Edited July 29, 2010 by rays Quote Link to post Share on other sites
twhite80 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 That is definitely worth a look. I have an old Hasegawa in the Stash, but you have to like Academy's recent Eagle releases. They are loaded with extras. I give lots of credit to Academy, they keep updating and adding! Hey Hasegawa! You just might learn something from Academy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) They must've just thrown in the weapon sprue from the F-15E I'm guessing, since they include the GBU-12's and -31's. I'm kinda surprised they didn't put in the AIM-9X's from the F-15K sprue, since the Light Grays almost exclusively carry the X-ray now. It looks like a decent kit though...I'll probably get one or two to "dress up" my Hasegawa kits, much like I've done with the E/I/K for the Revell Echo kit.

Matt Roberts Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) The sprue with the 9Xs are common throughout the new releases. The sprue they show is the only one to have Aim-9Ms IIRC The sprue with the AIM-9Xs is sprue K which has the ejector seats, modern exhausts and main wheels. It is doubled. The weapons on it include AIM-9X, AIM-120C, SLAM-ER, and 2000lb JDAM. The weapons sprue shown is Sprue M from the OIF F-15E, though it appears to have differant launch rails attached to the outside of the sprue. There also appear a couple of differant (New) parts in the center of Sprue M - two small pylons next to the sidewinder fins and whatever Part 29 is.

TXCajun Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Beautiful decal sheet! Might have to add this one to the hangar! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Little Jeff Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Any idea when it'll be in the states? And where would be a good shop to order it from? Little Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jester292 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Any idea when it'll be in the states? And where would be a good shop to order it from?Little Jeff If you can afford it, support your local shop and order through them. If not, maybe spruebrothers will have a good deal. I prefer Hobbylinc.com if my hobby shop doesn't have what I'm searching for. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rays Posted July 30, 2010 Author Share Posted July 30, 2010 I just saw MSRP NT1450..............expensive Taiwan release date late August Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Koen L Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 http://www.ericyymodel.com/ will probably have them cheaper than the aforementioned sources. He has the F-15I and E for 25ish and the K for 20USD. Koen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F4DPhantomII Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 Maybe Squadron will have a $20 special deal on it like they did on The F-15I Ra'am.I got me one of those. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
