F-15C Eagle - Bitburg 1991

A combination of the Aires Cockpit Set and Eduard Photoetch Parts. 

I used the Eduard Instrument with the Aires Resinpart - minor modifications had to be made to fit. 

 

 

Eduard Photoetch 

Trimmed and thinned out the Plastic Parts. 

More thinning and trimming... 

Eduard Parts are really nice 

Minor Detail added to vents - Hasegawa has opened vents, GWHs F-15 don't!

See-through the tiny holes of the Eduard-Etch-Part... 

 

4 Different Missile Rail Launchers:
1: Hasegawa Kit; very Basic, pre-MSIP Launcher
2: Hasegawa Armament-Set; Quite good, but adapter is too long
3: Eduard LAU 127 that comes with the AMRAAM-Set is perfect, but the Adapter is missing, so i shortened the Hasegawa one and will use that.
4: Launcher that comes with the GWH-Kit
A combination of Eduard and GWH would be perfect. 

From left to right:
Quickboost, Great Wall Hobby, Aires... GWH looks more like 1/48th scale, compared to the Aires Seat! 

We have to take some "social points" there for GWH due to scale failure... 😉 

Babysteps towards the finishing line... 

Rob Taurus Canopy and Eduard Parts really pay off! 

Rear Canopy Parts need to be completed - Eduard Photoetch and Plastic strips... 

 

Eifel Eagle almost complete... 

...still a long way to go! 

Great Wall Hobby Canopy is too wide and bulky - Rob Taurus takes the lead!
