Hi there Well if you looking for those ASM Sea Eagle missiles they are included on Hasegawa FRS.1 (2 samples) in wonderful 1/72 scale And sincerely if this aircraft is long retired from service this thread supposedely been on Cold War Aircrafts Best regards Armando

Hi there Well I was surfing at Facebook and find this video and somethings catch my attention https://www.facebook.com/reel/785806423463825 Looks to be a Boeing F-15C Eagle with some upgrade It has antennas like Strike Eagle (Korean and else fighter bombers) Also have a Lighting targeting pod ??? 2 AIM-120 missiles and intercept Su-30 but Venezuelan Regards Armando Ps tthe big question is that are all the upgrades on this aircraft???? I supposed to be wrong or middle right or is just my imaggination???

Well in general terms the easier decals markings have to be the Poland ones, still interesting to get those upgrade parts and as me I wonder many other modellers had stopped to get that kit because the lacks of parts Regards Armando

Let me say that only the Hasegawa F-4BN include thin middle wings parts and also can be found on RF-4B as here you can find thin and wide middle wing parts On ESCI Italeri Testors kits thy use same wing and same wheels and those are really different Regards Armando

Hi Tempestfan Let me tell you a secret I can cast resin parts the front part is very doable and the jet scapes or trusters can be replaced with some kits or resin parts (PAVLA used to have someof them) from other kits of the family build up then the only the general shape is what I want!!!! the thing that kit is behave very elusive from my hands Regards Armando

Just remember to mentioned here actually Italeri did a TAV-8B that is very good (even if you take cockpits from Hasegawas AV-8B) its certanily a nice addition on the collection the last addition on the Harrier collection is the Rolls Royce Pegasus that suposedely is inside this kit

For more recent air to air load the Set V

Hi Rando The Hasegawa Air to Air Missile set is just great but only include 4 AIM-7E and whole bunch of Sidewinders , so you can only use them on a single F-4 or F-15 https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10000493 Regards Armando

Hi there Actually the Hasegawa Sea Harrier FRS.1 its easy to fix, you need to cut the radome from the radar cover then assembly as well the rest and then look for the small round circle on the sprue the one that says made in Japan and use it as a gap fixer to be in between the nose and the radar cover Naturally use the filler or putty of your preference Regards Armando

1000 Thanks Rob I just checking and find that I have all of them on order from Special Hobby F-84F Thunderstreak Mk 7, Italeri Aircraft Weapons Mk 61/ Mk28 and last one its included on Fujimi Vought FU7 Cutlass 2 samples and Tamiya F4D Skyrray one sample (on the instructions shows as NavPack but is the same shape) So really interesting thing here Regards Armando

1000 Thanks Rob Please take under consideration no matter I have access to web I am a very rare person for my countrymen (otherwise with electrical and mechanical engineer background) been a plastic modeller in a down the border right in the middle of Banana Republics where there are no hobby store (and for locals custums look the models as toys so luxury item, meaning yes they taxed them) I got around Britmodellers with silly questions and some of you just kindly enough to answered them Well recently there been an influx of nuclear bombs on plastic models in the Wonderful 1/72 scale some of you called the Gentleman Scale (sorry I didn't fully understand that joke) so Modelvit AMD Mirage IIE. Modelsvit Su-7 Fitter, now Special Hobby Republic F-84F, Italeri Aircraft Weapons and Valom F-101A Voodoo (the one I didn't got in time) all included Nuclear bombs so in my madly Cold War kid weird brain I plan to do a MiG-21 Bis, AMD Mirage IIE, F-104G not sure if Belgium or Dutch with a B61 Anyway the Fighter bombers from the 60 to 90's seam to be my favorites with a special touch for Vietnam and Israeli-Arabs Wars too So thanks to your answers Rob (don't take too serious as my Terapist actually recomend me to say it all, some are weird things too), I'm still a 70/80 kid with mind focus on so many explosion movies, Rambo, Die Hard and so on Cheers Armando

I was actually offering those fuel tanks free as gift to all Britmodellers Regards Armando PS I did the caster myself using drawings

Please notice that still around a lot of ESCI Phantoms but all of that have same wider wing so unappropiate for the F-4B or RF-4B Regards Armando PS Still a big issue that Hasegawa don't include any ordenance but on Weapons Air to Air Missiles only include 4 right AIM-7E Sparrrows

1000 thanks Wes I actually wondering was to use the Special Hobby leftover ejection seats on older Airfix/Italeri F-84/RF-84 so I had the general idea to use the MB ejection seat on a German or exGerman F-84F but not know where to use the other ejection seat Regards Armando

1000 Thanks Martin for your words asI been struggling with depression due familiar and work issues, I'm pushing myself to modelling your builds are really inspirational as one image worth 10000 words Regarding the F-84F that are follow by halfbuild older kits (yes Airfix and Italeri) others F-84F and RF-84 (still others lik Skyhawks, Harriers, Skywarrior, some Skyraiders, F-5 and others like Su-17/22, Il-28, Yak-28 and so on) anyway I already got a book shelf that need some improvement and the used pallet cabin on the garden to be complete modeling workshop Regards

And before I forget it other than the F-101 who else use it Regards Armando

Hi there Well to say it simple I have only questions that I'm unable to answer so please sorry if for some of you are too basic I just got the Suez War issue I found actually 3 ejection seats, of course plan to use as instructions but that made me wonder about the other two, if I'm able to use them on other kits like old Airfix Then there is of course the medium size fuel tanks or weapon canister so I wonder if those goes on the exterior wing pilons Then of course the thing of the Mk 7 Nuclear Shape so Who on the NATO F-84F used it Regards Armando

Regarding the Heller Lansen you most consider to use one of limited editions of ventral fuel tank in resin from Hechizosuix Productions LTD in 1/72 scale Regards Armando

Hi there Well in my personal opinion and from a hobby storeless country down the border the old Esci/Italeri kits have their appeal , so we talking about McDonnell Douglas F-4 different variants have some good points starting that they're Sparrow AIM-7 are usable as that's the biggest issue on Hasegawa Aircrraft Weapons sets I- IV you got a whole deal of Sidewinders AIM-9 frrom various mark but not for the medium range AA missiles Then it goes for Hasegawa air to ground weapons (only included limited number of ME and TER) maybe in combination with Fujimi/Hobby 2000 Douglas Skyhawk you can arrange other options as every includes 2 MER adn TER each plus correct Zunny rockets Still the other kit that could provide interestion weapons options is the Academy Vought F-8E Crusader also in1/72 scale Regards Armando

Now I have some comentaries We already have Hasegawa 1/72 F-15 EX as model kit https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10874042 But sadly we don't have a Hasegawa 1/72 F-16 Fighting Falcon Have Glass V in model form (yes yet we have a correct Block 50 C from Tamiya and C/D from Hasegawa) we still missing the latest common configuration Regards Armando

Hi there Well after a long time I been wondering about the Italeri 1/72 B-58A Delta Bomber now I got a bag complete kit and wondering about what to do to improve it??? So i'm open to sugestions I have a whole bunch of Hasegawa afterburner leftovers from Hasegawa kits so for now that's the only after market I have in hand!!! Thanks in advance Armando

Hi there Well it happend that Modesvit AMD Mirage IIIE include the French AN52 tactical nuclear bomb, incidentally Modesvit Sukhoi Su-7 also include a Russian Nuclear bomb both of them free fall For now the ones to look is the new Special Hobby F-84F Thunderstreak that also include a US early tactical nuclear bomb Now returning to modern French aircraft weapons you need to look for Hobby Boss Sepecat Jaguar It included a good selecction (those not included on Special Hobby Mirage F.1) Regards Armando

Hi there Well I have the old Airfi kit so it included the wing pylons so I had to add the SAC metal undercarriage and the wheels those are really needed to improve the kit also the metal IRP also a focal point on this kit then it needs to be upgraded by scribbing (I undestand you skip this part on the new Arfix issue) then for the ALQ-101 is from Aeroclub originally intended for a Buccaneer or Sepecat Jaguar(I really not remember, also included in a very old aircraft weapons set from Airfix) As I'm doing a Black Bulk someone here provide me with metal jet exhaust set for the RR Olympus 301 super detail For the AGM-45 Shrike Antiradiation missile and twin rack I took them from Hobby Boss F-105G A real a big gut kit as you need bravado to handle and persistence to end i Regards Armando

Hi there I just wonder it didn't need that much to do the other upgrade the one with the landing chute!!! Regards Armando
