Cal Nat Airways F15 Reporter 1/48 scale


Recommended Posts

my latest finished kit(and first for 2021) is a lone star conversion of the monogram P61 ..it has a completely new fuselage pod and boom fronts and cowls i replaced the supplied engines with Quickboost ones and the wheels are from the GWH P61 as the Monogram ones are pretty toy like...it also has the lone star firebomber conversion....it was an interesting build and i am very happy with the final result.

Excellent work on an interesting subject!  :clap2:

 

I think I see an Avenger fire bomber in back; did that also use LSM's resin? 

yup that is an LSM conversion as well...the tigercat is an all resin kit with an LSM tank and caracal decals.

Nicely done, and very cool!  I had no idea that the F-15 Reporter persisted long enough as an airframe to warrant its conversion. I guess I should look up whether there are surviving airframes anywhere.

there was only one,it's the first production airframe and was use for mapping in Mexico till the early 60's then bought back to the US for a tanker conversion..unfortunately it was lost in a crash in 1968.
