Colin W Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 @Col. Do you really plan to use a Sea Harrier cockpit in the F15? It might be a bit too small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil_Toast_RSA Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Got my grubby paws on this classic today. So sign me up! Chances are good I'll have hopefully gotten a Academy F-15C in the following year so might have 2 Eagles to build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob S Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I’ve always wanted to recreate the multiple Review Build of 1:72 F-15 kits in Scale Models I think it was. Must find it as I can’t remember whether it was two or three kits. Definitely at least Revell and Monogram but can’t remember if there was a third. I also remember @Graeme H years ago saying how old he felt when the F-15 first appeared in the US Museum at Duxford on one of his many trips to the UK. Sign me up please.

It was in one of the 1974 Scale Models magazines in the “New to You?” Segment and the third one was the Hasegawa kit. Then in the February 1975 Scale Models there was a more detailed build of all three. Edited March 29, 2021 by Rob S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob S Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 So have the Hasegawa and Revell kits in the “Stash” but will need to hunt down a Monogram kit before this GB starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy Bird Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Hmm...somewhere I have the Hasegawa 1:72 F-15E so maybe I could find some interesting markings for it. I'm not a big fan of low-viz grey schemes. Let me poke around! Cheers, Bill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra Mike Sierra Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Good afternoon Dennis, I like to join - having in mind a F-15D of 57th FW at Nellis AFB. Not sure Desert or Flanker scheme. Never managed to get hold of a Hasegawa 1/48 F-15D (do they rellay exist?), but I think their F-15E can serve as a basis 😁 Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the conformal fuel tanks are extra and not molded on. . * just looked at scale-mates instructions. You should be good to go, the tanks are separate add on bits.

I recall reading an older sniffish reveiw of the Hasegawa 1/48 F-15E "Multi Role Fighter" complainig that it would actually depict an F-15D with some additional parts. That could pay off now... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mungo1974 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Why have I only just noticed this one? Can I throw my name in the hat please. Now did we get a positive yes or no on whif subjects....I have a plan in my head, the models themselves would be basically a stock F-15C and F-15E but the paint schemes/decals be completley fictional schemes loosely based on 48th Fighter Wing machines @RAF Lakenheath taking into account the USAF's current fad of painting any aircraft that sits still long enough in a throwback 'Heritage' scheme and that 2022 marks 30 years of F-15's at Lakenheath.

Cheers, Gary Hello Gary… Ive added you to the main list. WHIF schemes Hmmmm, Im of the mindset that as long as they're plausible they would be ok. Now the units at Lakenheath are historically rooted in these units. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/48th_Operations_Group https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/48th_Fighter_Wing That or possibly an RAF unit that was stationed at RAF Lakenheath. I could see the USAF doing a scheme to say honor the many RAF Anniversaries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAF_Lakenheath WHIF schemes that are total made up fantasy I would say no to. There are plenty of options for Eagles out there. Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Wish I could join. Have been looking for a year now for a box of that darn GWH MSIP2 grey Eagle… looks like they are sold out everywhere in Europe. Should I be able to secure one, I am in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
