Hey Bobi!
I have this as well. I bought it because I needed an F-15C and it comes with the markings of the St.Louis wing of the Missouri AirNatGuard. One of my friends in StL flew it with the Guard when he wasn't flying for United Airlines. They (NatGuard) had a loss while we lived up there. The cockpit separated from the airplane - broke it's back essentially. The pilot ejected but got banged-up pretty good. They ended up grounding all the -15C's for inspection. The plane was probably close to 30 hrs old with a gazillion cycles.
Show me some pix of this or the other one. Maybe we can start at the same time and have a mini group build!

I meant to say 30 YEARS old! (typo)

Speaking of old airplanes, does your air force still have some F-4s, F-14s & MiG-21s?

Kevin. Check out my albums as I just finished this kit yesterday. I personally will go Hasegawa if ever tasked to build another C model as this one to me was just more issues than I'm interested in. I did manage to make a good run at it but it was trying to say the least.

Oh Lord give me strength! I don't know if you saw my post on the F-82 fiasco and the Apache re-build. Now you're telling me that I have yet another IED in my stash. How freaking awesome is THAT? Thanks for the alert - I shall now go see what I'm up against. (And I was almost in a good mood today!)
