Mark Szeman Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 Hey guys, I'm at a bit of a standstill with my Enterprise B (waiting for some tools to arrive) in the meantime I found this: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/tamiya-61024-mcdonnell-douglas-f-15a-eagle--114076 Its going for a steal on a local auction site, together with this : https://www.scalemates.com/kits/academy-12253-f-14a-tomcat--231675 Im not super into these aircraft but I would like something to do and they are a steal, and local. I thought I might even try my hand at some PE but I can't find anything for the F15A in particular, scalemates doesn't have any PE interiors or extras listed for the A in particular. Anyone have any tips where to look ? I'm still getting back into this and am still amazed at the wealth of places you guys have for suppliers my google-fu just doesn't seem to find. Thanks guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 (edited) The Tamiya kit is very old and relatively basic. Add resin nozzles and probably a seat if you want to improve on it! Same goes for missiles. Built one long time ago, it looks like an F-15 Edited March 29, 2019 by exdraken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 There's not much out there for the A model. I bought a C set of etch which will be close enough for me. If you want to build a really early A you need an Escapac seat and an airbrake external stiffener too. Cheers jonners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Szeman Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share Posted March 30, 2019 Thanks Jon . I'm on a steep learning curve when it comes to where to get what so far. I found Eduard.com, Super-hobby and Master model, and then spent several hours drooling over what they offer, I found more for the F-14 than the 15 so I may build the 14 and keep the 15 in the stash or sell on to someone more enthusiastic for it I've done a few searches, but couldn't find a thread in particular with a list of sorts for aftermarket manufacturers of PE and resin and such, is there one on the forum?

exdraken Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 You could go to Hannants website and search there... they offer quite the complete range.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Szeman Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share Posted March 31, 2019 Thanks @exdraken I searched eduard and master model seperately, but i see hannants has a great overview of everything related to a selected model from multiple vendors, and actually quite more than than scalemates has listed per model.. bookmarking that one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
