Does anyone know if there’s a replacement for the awful smoke-tinted windscreen/canopy that comes with this kit? It’s an older kit, but on first glance, it looks OK. Anything I should know about the kit?
Thanks, Scott
I think that it’s made of plastic, but I could be wrong…[:D][:D][:D] Didja try Squadron.com? They might have one. Is that the F-15C or the F-15E?
There are some good points and bad about this kit. The worst is the instrument panel is all wrong. The C model F-15 doesn’t have the “glass cockpit” instrumentation and should look like an -A model instrument panel. I don’t know of any after market parts execpt for a Waldron placard set for the cockpit and you can get an acesII seat from CAM. You might be able to repace the clear sprues with a Tamiya F-15C set but you’ll need the kit and part number to be able to get them direct from Tamiya. I got replacements for an -E pretty cheaply. I don’t know if the frame comes with that or not.
Not bad detail for it’s time and the decals are from a unit I was in. (318th Fighter Interceptor Squadron the “Green Dragons” McChord AFB WA)
Good Luck
Chasblake99, thanks for the help! I may try to get one from Tamiya. I hadn’t thought of that.
Garydmason, I tried Squadron, but no luck. Plastic you say? Huh. I thought it was made of Kiss-My-Butt-ium

Scott,
Only YOU would think that… I’m surprised that you’ve even HEARD of plastic. No, wait a minute. Most of your girlfriends are made of that, aren’t they? And they come with their own inflators, if I remember correctly… [:D][:D][:D][}:)][:)]
Did you finish the A-6 yet? Thought not…
You’re right about only one thing. The A-6 isn’t done yet. So sue me. How about your two year Eagle? hmmm?
By the way, unlike yours, my girlfriends don’t have to be sheared in the spring. Baaaad Gary, Baaaad.
Hey, at least they have a HEARTBEAT!!! And they keep me warm…
I hear that you have two new girls…Rosy Palma and Fistina Handy.[}:)][:D][:D]
Well, not NEW girls. They’re old childhood friends…
