I am planning on building the Tamiya 1/32 F-15E model for my brother, who is a WSO, as a gift for him when he graduates from his training.
I want to make it as accurate and detailed as possible. I've been checking out this website called
www.f-15estrikeeagle.com/navigation/index_intro.htm to get some tips and things. It has been a while since I've done any model building, so I don't know what good places are to buy supplies from. I used to get them all locally, but that was a while ago and the hobby store that was near me is long gone.
Anyway, I noticed that there were some pretty nice looking accessories for this kit listed on that website. There are two accessory manufacturers that make some parts I'd like to get for my kit, but I can't seem to find any place in the US that lists them for sale on their website. The two companies are Flightpath, UK and Eduard Model Accessories.
In particular I am looking for these two items:
Eduard 32 031 F-15E Strike Eagle Photo-etched detail set for Tamiya kit
Flightpath, UK FP-GS-006 F-15 Eagle Tail Pipe Set
Does anyone know where I can get these? What are some good reputable places to buy from on the net?
I'd also appreciate any tips anyone wants to give me on this build. Thanks!
