Sweet, more F-15 goodies for my upcoming order next month :D

 

Speaking of goodies, can you make R2D2 for the F-15, also known as the ELK-1891 SATCOM terminal used by the Israelis? None exist in 1/32 and Q-M-T make or used to make them in 1/48.

Something similar, if not the same, is used on Israeli Apaches too.

The R2D2 antenna certainly does exist in 1/32.  It’s part of the Isradecal F-15I conversion, and I think it used to be available separately too.

Oh interesting, I didn't know that. I have the Wolfpack conversion and it doesn't include it from what I can see online (too lazy to go open the box right now).  Unfortunately, Isracast do not have any on their site as a single item, just the whole conversion for the Ra'am.  The antenna is included on some Baz models too so it would be nice to have it as a single item for future projects.

Jan, I finally got round to using some of my F-15E parts recently and the instrument panels are made out of a different material to the rest of the cockpit sets which isn't as nice to use. Is there any reason for the softer/plyable black material compared to the harder grey material?

Grey parts are casted and black parts are printed.... Very different materials... But it´s not possible to cast IP panels like they are....

 

If you destroy something, let me know. Will send you new parts.
