Any new aircraft kit?
-
They are just renders by it looks promising, even better than the GWH one. -
The JASDF F-15J/DJ remain hugely popular on the Japan market.
-
It should have them.
-
You are right. Caracal ha sheet for the "Next Generation Eagles" bunt only in 1:48 scale. I don't think any other decals printer has a product related to the "next gen Eagles" in 1:72.

Happy to see the first F-15EX release in 1:72 scale.
-
Any review online? I have seen some copies popping up on eBay sold from China.

1/72 - Grumman F-14D Tomcat by Great Wall Hobby

A new, limited edition, F-14B of the VF-101 (and UKR SU-27UB in digital camo)? source: GWH Facebook Official Page -
I hope to see the F-14A+/B to cover the entire Tomcat family.
-
It seems a good kit, even without the extra bits for the EX version.

Hi Ron, thank you for your feedback. Yes, it matches what I have found (or better, not have found): There isn't any reference to the Bullpup tested, deployed or used by the Marines Phantoms. So, it is almost certain that the Bullpup wasn't in their inventory.
-
It is even my idea, as I don't remember to ever have seen a F-4B/J/N armed with a AGM-12 (except for the Nichimo Phantom in 1/300 scale, that I have always thought as inaccurate); I even ignored that the US Navy F-4J were wired to use the Bullpup. Only after readind the TGYC, I'm puzzled if the Phantom/Bullpup is feasible.

Hi everybody, I have a doubt concerning the use of the AGM-12 Bullpup and the US Marines Corps Phantom. From what I know, the US Navy F-4J "was equipped with the AN/AJB bombing system which gave better ground attack capability and allowed the use of the Bullpup ASM (The Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club - Osprey 2021)." Thus, I can deduce that the earlier F-4B can't use the AGM-12 Bullpup; the question is if the rebuilt F-4N were wired to carry the AGM-12 and if the US Marines Corps ever carry this weapon before it was phased out in the late '70s. The idea is to build a US Marines F-4N armed with the AGM-12C, if it's realistic.

It makes sense; If Revell want to supersede the Academy/GWH/Hasegawa kits, they must have the EX/SG/QA/SA on the market before the other companies. Anyway, it's still unconfirmed if their new kit will include the parts for the "Next Generation Eagles"

Hi Ian, Mostly I play using the Air Superiority/The Speed of Heat rule set, adapted to play with miniatures and on very large hexagonal maps, In the end we play using a table of the same dimension of a typical "Warhammer" tabletop game, even if the dimensions an change with the scenarios. Now, we are playing a "Cold War turned Hot" campaign settled in 1978. The main reason is that the air combat is much more fun before the introduction of the all-aspect air-to-air missile (and less deadly).

Probably Revell sees a niche in the market for the "last generation" F-15E derivatives. Actually,, the F-15EX/QA/SA/SQ are not covered by any companies in 1/48 and 1/72 scale, except to use the resin conversion kits produced by BAM (but their cost is over the model to convert), and the Hasegawa F-15SG is sold out and discontinued. So, they should have a follow-on kit covering the Eagle "last generation," to place on the market in few months later the release of the F-15E new kit.

Hi mates, After many years modelling and painting wargames miniatures I'm back to my first love: modelling military jet aircraft, something that I'm not doing anymore from more than... 25 years! As I have painted and modelled over 100+ aircraft in 1/288 -1/300 scale for playing 3D wargames, in the last two years, I like the idea to build, model and paint scale aircraft for the pure joy to do it. Cheers, Federico

Hi mates, I would ask if there is any after market decals set who included the St Michael Icon showed on various Russian Flankers in 1/72 or 1/48 scale. To my knowledge, obly the GWH SU-35 in 1/72 scale presents it would ask if there is any after market decals set who includes the St Michael Icon showed on various Russian Flankers in 1/72 or 1/48 scale. To my knowledge, only the GWH SU-35 in 1/72 scale presents it. St Michael icon on Russian SU-35
