phantom Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 There are 3 new sets of decals being released by Caracal decals for 1/32 F-15C's. They really look pretty good. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otis252 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) Well, let's see 'em and how can we buy 'em? Heard that some A-10's on the way also. I want them all. Chuck Edited January 9, 2013 by otis252 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geedubelyer Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Nice looking decal sets. We don't see enough big Eagles being built so perhaps these will encourage more modellers to build the large scale F-15's. Are there any other Eagle schemes in the pipe or does it depend on how well these sell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike With you on that one - would especially like to see ANG F-4C/Ds in 16473 aircraft grey liveries, such as Oregon, Texas, North Dakota and Minnesota Guards in 1/32. Have waited ten years for those! The F-15 is a very big model in 1/32, so not the kind of subject to be built in series like the F-4, although it's really cool to see these Eagle sheets. Will probably get the Red Hawks Oregon sheet. A-6 is going to be a whopper, but the folded wings option gives it a smaller footprint so two-three are probably doable.

LSP_K2 Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 No MOANG? How sad. Perhaps I'll still see them in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Beautiful! I just placed an order for the Oregon ANG set. Been looking for something different, and that was it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two aircraft are very similar in length and span. It's only the height to the tip of the tails that differs significantly Eagle= Length : 63'9" , Span : 42'10" , Height : 18'6" (in old money) Phantom= Length : 63'0" , Span : 38'4 1/2" , Height : 16'6" That makes the Eagle about 1 1/2" wider than the Phantom and a smidge (technical measurement) longer in 1/32nd scale. So now you know, you can build just as many Eagles as Phantoms for the same amount of real estate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I can't even begin to recall how many e-mails I have sent to decal manufacturers requesting ANG markings for the F-4 Phantom in 1/32nd scale. There are so many colorful choices! Hopefully they will finally be made available. Mark Proulx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So now you know, you can build just as many Eagles as Phantoms for the same amount of real estate F-4s have folding wings, F-15s don't. I can fit two folded jets on an Ikea Ivar 40x80cm shelf, but only one F-15. The whole F-15 tail assembly is also chunkier, including a need for more vertical tail and canopy clearance, requiring extra vertical spacing between shelves. I guess it all comes down to what shelving you use! Tony T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 There are several 1/32 ANG F-4 sheets that are going to be released. I am saving my $ for those sheets. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
