Robertone139 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 1/72 or 1/48? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christer A Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 That will most surely be a fine kit, if the SU-35 is anything to go by. Completely new tool, or modified from their previous F-15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzz Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Looks very nice and looking like I’ll have to break away from my normal genre and get one to go with my 48 TFW F-111. Shame there only seems to be marking options for 2 aircraft from the same Squadron, although great that it is the 48 TFW! Muzz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGER HOBBIESLIMITED Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 For those UK retailers who get their orders to Tiger Hobbies by Mid September this will land about end of October in the UK. So see your retailer if you want this fairly quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGER HOBBIESLIMITED Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Those who are thinking of getting them from Blackmike, please let him have your orders before Mid September, so we can get them on the next boat to leave late September.

Witness Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Interesting, I just watched an unboxing of this kit. One of the weapon sprues is IDENTICAL to the one in my Kinetic F/A-18 kit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it is the darker grey plastic, the earlier dark yellow plastic Kinetic used in the SUFA boxings was truly awful with horrendous sprue gates. Not sure those AIM-120s and GBUs are quite up to the quality of the actual GWH weapons though. Strange choice from a company [GWH] that usually supplies high quality one-piece weapons? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witness Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 Maybe to bring the costs down for developing moulds for the small diameter bombs? I'm quite happy with the quality of the ones in my kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they’d do that. The Revell F-15E is a perfectly good kit to model an ODS and earlier Strike Eagle. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
