I currently have Revell’s F-15E Strike Eagle kit and am considering acquiring IsraCast’s aftermarket set in order to convert it into an Israeli F-15I Ra’am. So my question is, have any of you used IsraCast’s conversion before – and if so, how difficult etc. was the set to use?

Thanks in advance for any guidance / information you might have,
Noah

I used some items from the Wolfpack set, Aires F-15I cockpit set and F-15I Nozzles, seamless suckers intakes, Sky Decals, Popeyes are from Skunk Modelworks. Not a hard conversion, get the Isra F-15I Ra'am book, the photos show it all.

John,

Your Ra’am looks fantastic - Thanks for your advice! BTW – any idea where / how I could acquire those Seamless Sucker air intakes? Tried to find a site on the net but to no avail…

Thanks again,
Noah

Thanks, unfortunately the seamless sucker chap passed away a couple of years ago. Maybe ebay or at swap meets you may find some, no one has produced the F-15 intakes in 1/48 since SS. Someone may have plans but I can't remember.
