jozef Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 The original release of Revell F-15 did not have the tank at all. Do not know about the later ones Jozef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Williams Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Here's the instructions for the Revell D/E kit. Doesn't seem to be any tanks in this boxing either. http://manuals.hobbico.com/rmx/85-5715.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phartycr0c Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Yep quite correct there are no external tanks in the kit however the CFts are a separate moulding and could be left off effectively producing a 2 seat C i.e a D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The Revell kit does not have the petite detail of the Tamiya kit but AFAIK it was the last full 1/32 kit produced by Revell USA. It builds rather easily (the Tamiya wing and fuselage seam is a pain...), has full air intakes and reasonably good scribing. If you correct a little bit the panel lines, add metal LG legs and resin wheels, replace the exhausts and detail the cockpit, you'll get a very nice eagle. BTW, such elements are generally replaced as well on the Tamiya kit and the kit also asks for some correction (it is in fact a E airframe). Of course, this will ask for work but the budget is also noticeably different. Daniel Leduc and phasephantomphixer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 It's a shame that there are no external fuel tanks in the Revell kits. Does anyone know the dimensions of the fuel tanks in 1/32 scale ? (diameter and length). PS : I bought a second hand Revell F-15B/D in 1/32 but both (left and right) forward fuselage sections (the ones that hold the cockpit and nosewheel bay) are missing. Does anyone has these parts in their sparesbox ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Leduc Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Salut Thierry, Totally agree with you, here is one I'm finishing with the Revell kit, my wing tank are from their Revell F-4E kit and exhaust from Cutting Edge. Both AM, you can get from GT Resin, PM Garry, very nice guy.... I'm very happy with the result, evendo I do build Tamiya Eagle or Phantom, I like the Revell kit, maybe as not detailed but a lot cheaper, still have screening in my pocket to go to Mc Do......
