1/72 or 1/48?

 

[Christer A]

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?

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!

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.

About time!

Anybody checked details if all parts are there to make a totally modern up to date USAF Strike Eagle ?

The weapons load out suggests so

Hey @Duncan B does this mean we'll be seeing your stock soon? 

[Witness]

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....

Yes, it's the generic Kinetic GBU/AIM-120/AIM-9 sprue. 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?

 

[Witness]

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

Did they ever mention the possibility of releasing a boxing of the initial F-15E variant?

Not sure why they’d do that. The Revell F-15E is a perfectly good kit to model an ODS and earlier Strike Eagle.

Err, not the same company , so why wouldn't they if they see a potential for sales?
