I think this means it is only a matter of time until we see it in 1/48... They are taking their sweet time with that. We have 1/48 F-15I but nor an E .... ! ??

Of course, just when I found a good way to scratch build the intake ducts for the Hasegawa Beagle.

No. But it is a little long in the tooth and needs update sets to bring it up to late 90s and later configuration. 

 

It, however, is a lot cheaper than the GWH kit.

No not at all, but the GWH Eagles are lovely albeit pricey and missles are a work of art. Hasegawa, Academy and Revell all do pretty good toolings of the Strike Eagle now but like everything another player to choose from is no bad thing!

Once you go Great Wall F-15, you never go back

[Caerbannog]

time to pass my Hasegawa F-15E on???

[Supertom]

That looks pretty awesome. Hopefully it'll be reasonably priced, with a C model soon behind.

It does look very nice!!!

You can see the gun loading box (IIRC) on the belly part, also they did not make great ugly walls in between the MLG doors that one needs to cut away. That is an interesting way of doing the fuse, wing halves molded in place and separated top & bottom. Also it looks like the CFTs are molded as part of the lower fuse bit. All in all it looks like they hit the nail on the head!!

All we need to see now is how many of these $$ we will part with!!?!

[charlie_c67]

Erm, we already have a thread about this guys...

Nice, some AGM-130 with the datalink pod. Some loving for Desert Storm afficionados.
