It looks like the kit has the necessary parts to build a Singaporean F-15SG:

or a Qatari F-15QA:

There are aftermarket decals for the former, but I don't think there are any for the latter yet.

The Draken release is a little strange. I thought that this version and decal option was in their current catalogue already.

 

Björn,

Taking the product number (PT41) into account I'd say it's just a re-pop of the original first Draken kit issued.

Nissan Kenmeri 1/24 New Tool, I'm freaking sold, hope they will consider GrandChampion or some Yankee variations for it so I don't have to hunt for early Toyota Celica LB rear lights that were adapted on those cars and I also hope that they will properly make some 16'' or 18'' Hayashi rims cause Fujimi rims are too small and iffy

You are right. Caracal ha sheet for the "Next Generation Eagles" bunt only in 1:48 scale. I don't think any other decals printer has a product related to the "next gen Eagles" in 1:72.

That Special Anniversary F-4EJ is most welcome.  Years ago Hasegawa boxed it in 1/48.   Great to have it in 1/72 too.

Jackman, my friend @Gene K pointed out that this scheme was previously released by Hasegawa in  1/72 in 1993 as SP116/51616:

F-4EJ_1

 

Something to note in the new release is the apparent inclusion of decals for the splitter plate (almost correct)

 

F-4EJ_2

Right you are, sir!  I had completely forgotten about that one.  Actually, now that you've jogged my memory,  I think I still have that original 1993 boxing somewhere in my stash.  I do remember that in my boxing, the white stripes on the fuselage & the white dragon on the tail had that infamous Hasegawa Ivory white/Off-white:

So let's hope they've fixed this with the upcoming re-release. 

 

Thanks Giorgio & Gene  :thanks:

Regarding the F-15EX as the example shown does not show the outer wing pylons do not be surprised if they are not in the kit, also no mention of them in the description.

 

Are there any pictures of the pylons ?

 

Regards

Robert
