Pascal KlasenSuper! Kleiner Tipp, nimm den hellen Rahmen mit dem Tiger Kopf von meinen decals und den Piloten Schriftzug von Furball. Die Furball Rahmen sind viel zu dunkel und gehen unter.

Donnie BriscoeHabs gemerkt, allgemein, sind interpretationen des Dunklen "Mod-Eagle Grey" auf den Furball Decals zu dunkel. Danke für den tip 🙂

GiorgosWatching! I just found the same kit at a good price and I am researching the builds from other mates! Love your work so far. Question: I understand you used the Eduard PE for the Hasegawa kit. Did you have any issues?

Donnie BriscoeHi Giorgos.... Yes and yes... :/ The Instrument panel doesn't fit at all, had to trim the PE to fit. Luckily it's just on the Topside, which is hidden by the IP-Cover. in retrospect, using a full Cockpit Resin kit would have been better. Guess thats one of the reasons, why you can pick this old kit up, for so cheap xD Also for my bird I had to remove the rear Pike between the Engines. For engines, I'm using Engines from a F-15E Kit by Revell (Which will become a future What-If project 😉 )

GiorgosThanks Donnie! This is very helpful! Looking forward to your further updates!
As regards a resin cockpit kit, I did some research and didn't find one available for the Tamiya kit... So I would suppose that using the AIRES set for Hasegawa would also be problematic to install.

Donnie BriscoeThats the one I meant. My main problem was getting the IP und der the IP-Cover, thats why I had to trim the PE.... The hasegawa cockpit replacement also replaces the Cover(the part, where the HUD is mounted). maybe a tight squeeze and some sanding required, but still should look a LOT better, than the oob Cockpit.

GiorgosWell, that's a good idea right there Donnie! Indeed, the AIRES set has separate IP-Cover!
