Joshua StrongCan take a photo of decal sheet? If have time?
Or do have what was in the box photo somewhere?
26. November, 16:58
Marco PretoHi Joshua:
Here's a photo of the decal sheet (
[img1]), directly from the ebay page where I bough it. The quality is not the best; the color register are a bit off and the used printer leaves very noticeable dots of color (instead of a continuous film of color, that we can find in better quality decals). But it was the only option I found to depict aircraft #267!
Cheers

Joshua StrongI like the eagle head decals
Is that Israel marking ?
A white background with blue star?
26. November, 19:56
Marco PretoThey are Israeli markings indeed!
The attached profile is for the aircraft I am trying to model (the profile is from the Isradecal book on the F-15I Ra'am).

Lukas .are parts updated for the MSIP II?
30. December 2013, 17:24
Lucas C.Yes, the kit has updated parts for the MSIP II mods. Overall, the kit itself is OK, although the nose to fuselage joint is not good, requiring a fair amount of filling and sanding. The kit decals are horrible, bordering on unusable; they are thick, silver even on very glossy areas, don't conform to details at all, even after using several strong decal solutions, and the colors are off. When I build the next one I'll use aftermarket decals for everything.

Slavo HazuchaBeeen in the wars, this one...
Great job, the strong weathering looks very consistent over the entire plane - and the 80´s photo is really top, the atmo coming over 1:1 as in the print in those days
23. September, 09:29
Bryn CrandellExcellent build! Love the look of a fully loaded Eagle. One question though. On the intake ramps, did the kit come with them in the downward position? They are normally in that position only when the engines are running.

Michael HickeyI'm going to try and build this one straight out of the box to try to get my mojo back.
16. September, 04:28
Michael PhillipsCount me in! Hope to see you get your mojo back! Sometimes it just takes the right project to jump start lost mojo. That happened to me earlier this year and I was able to recapture it. I found that by just building and not sweating the small stuff I enjoyed the process more.
16. September, 19:16
Michael HickeyTake a seat in the front row, you're always welcome Michael.
17. September, 03:19
Slavo HazuchaNo wonder the mojo can get lost time to time in the vast spaces of that spacious hobby-chalet of yours
Hope it soon gets found, would love to see this bird take off. It´s on my mid-long term list (but, since I am lazy & whiny about kit quality, rather the GWH-variety...).

9. August, 20:40
Celliers@OttovonLindberg, I just kept on wiping away the wash until there was almost nothing left in the panel lines. Very easy to wipe all the wash in the panel lines away, then you just have to try again.

11. August, 17:44
OttovonLindbergThank you. Did you use a cotton swab or a paintbrush to remove the excess wash?

Robby OwenTrying to mix up some blue to match the decals since thin, flat, brittle decals don't exactly bend around the round antennas on the tips of the vertical stabs. Anyone built this using the kit decals and know a blue (and I'm sure I'm going to need the red too) that will match the decals?
28. June, 04:42
Robby OwenPlease disregard the above. I found a solution. Home Depot. Took them the decals and they were able to perfectly match the blue and red. Cost was $4/pint...

Clifford KeeslerExcellent Roland. I just noticed that it is 1:144, so even more impressive.
10. June, 21:02
Roland GunslingerThanks Greg and Clifford! Much appreciated!
@Greg After I have tried something more serious myself to build such a tiny kit, I appreciate your skills even more. This scale does not forgive mistakes. I take my hat off to you!
@Clifford 144 is an eye killer
10. June, 21:31
10. June, 21:36
Clifford KeeslerI do not doubt that. I have 2 1:144, but both are larger aircraft. A DC-8 and C-124 Globemaster.
10. June, 21:36
Greg BakerWow. You're right, 1/144 doesn't forgive much, but you certainly don't seem to have any need for forgiveness though... that's a top class result. I'm hoping my 1/144 F-14 comes out half that well!
10. June, 22:57
Roland GunslingerClifford, i'm looking forward to see your „minis" fly
@Greg, thank you for your kind words. From a master of this scale that makes me 2 head taller. Much appreciated!
You probably already know this kit, but if not, I can only recommend it.
11. June, 10:13
Greg BakerDon't worry, I just bought my first two 1/48 scale kits yesterday (Academy KF-5E and F-14 Bombcat), so I'll be coming to learn from you soon enough.

AlexThanks! Yeah, in fact Revell made some excellent 1/144-kits, like the Eagle, or the Tomcat. I wonder why they neglect the 1/72-market, the best days of revell in this field are gone. Some good repops, but almost nothing new.

Most normal people need surfaces 3-times this size at least to get this level of "action" going... Great stuff!

Peter WI would recommend getting new decals for it, the ones in the kit are very thick and will have to work at it to thin them down, plus there is a ton of them. These were from my stash a few years back and worked way better.
