這篇review是從Bastet介紹過的Hyperscale的discussion group挖出來的
全英文，看了可能會既高興又生氣的...............
注：Beagle只的就是"strike eagle" F-15E為何會在eagle前加個"B"
可能是指"Bomb eagle"的意思，和改裝後具有部分對地攻擊能力
的Tomcat被暱稱為"Bomcat"有異曲同工之妙。
Straight off RMS, for those of you who don't/can't read that newsgroup. Not
really any surprises per se, save the lack of weapons. :( This begs the
(這盒沒附武裝)
question, what are the options for stores on a Beagle, using what's currently
available? One of the comments made in the thread in RMS makes quite a bit of
sense, actually: the kit will be re-released by Pro Modeller shortly, with weapons. This would have bumped up the price a fair bit, and I'm sure that the "regular" release is more for the mass markets
(不久pro modeller會再出另一個版本，而且價格高的多，意指revell
沒附武裝是要再賺一筆..............)
than the higher priced Pro Modeller versions, so it sort of makes sense. Of
course, I'd still rather see the proper number of tanks, and at least some CBUs
, or snakes or SOMETHING, but I guess this'll make a good OOB "test" subject
before I go all out on an IAF version.
And to echo Drewe: GIMME GIMME GIMME!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, here's the review:
"Picked up the new Revell F-15E in 1/48 scale last night. Looks pretty
good just pawing over the parts tres and oohing and aahing. Panel lines are
（凹線刻的很好）
nicely scribed, I leave it to someone else on how accurate they are.
Instrument panels and cockpit tub look good, the two control grips in the WSO'
（儀表版和座昌看來不錯，後座武器系統官WSO的兩只武器感測器操縱桿為分開零件，但

是節流筏則是直接作在廊板上）
console. Seats are four part assemblies. The shoulder safety harness is
（彈射椅為四片零件構成，肩膀的安全帶直接作在椅背上，但是大腿安
molded on the seat back, but the lap belts are missing. The canopy breakers on
全帶則沒有做出。） （彈射椅頭靠上方的
the seat head rests are included. Afterburner cans are three piece segments
破艙刀也有包含） （後燃器段為三段零件構成，噴嘴上的致動連桿
with the actuating rods seperate pieces, so you'll have all the joy of puting
為分離式零件，意思是這玩意不是用火雞尾巴而是正確的裸露未包覆的的噴嘴。）
each one on and praying one doesn't go flying into that black hole all dropped
model parts go to. A set of intake trunks are provided for this kit, something
（一組進氣道段也有提供，大概是指有完整的進氣道內構。）

（一家樹脂套件廠，生產優良的進氣道改裝套件。）
Main gear doors are bulged correctly, though molded in the closed
（主輪艙門有正確的鼓起，因為F15E使用加厚加大的輪胎，不過卻是作成關閉狀態）
position. The main wing assembly is six pieces, the main body top and bottom,
(主翼？？以六片零件構成，上、下機身，主翼下方X2，及翼端X2)
the main underwing panels, and then the wing tips. Main tires are flattened to
（主輪為重力胎形態）
simulate weight. CFT pylons are seperate pieces, as are the CFTS themselves.
（適型油箱CFT上的掛架為分開的零件，如同CFT本身也是分離式零件）
A mass of sway braces are provided for all the pylons. The FLIR and LANTRIN
（有提供一堆掛架用的釋放架？指得大概是和炸彈連接處） （LANTIRN夾艙看來很普通）
pods look a bit basic, aftermarket replacements might look a little better.
Weapons load is limited to two external fuel tanks for the wing pylons, and
武器酬載只有兩具翼下掛架外掛副油箱，四枚aim9飛彈雖然刻的不錯。）
four AIM-9 whatever letter they're up to now. Something to wonder about, on
（一件值的去懷疑的事情，在有
the parts tree that has the fuel tank, missile, and pylon parts, there is a
上述零件的零件架上，中間有個很大的空隔，我不的不相信這是用來容納某些東西。）
large gap in the middle that I can't believe was not planned to hold something.
Maybe another issue is coming with additional weapons added this time.
（也許另一版本推出時將會有著追加的武器）
Clear parts are nice and clear, though the main canopy has that annoying
（透明零件很好且透明，雖然主艙罩在中央有一道分模線必須磨除，意指艙蓋刻意
mold seam down the middle that will have to be removed. The only other clear
做出Ω形剖面的泡形座艙罩。） （其他透明零件只有
parts are the wide angle HUD (remember to tint that green), landing lights for
廣角HUD，要塗上透明綠，鼻輪的著路燈，前風擋，兩個大型透明圓圈在說明書裡未提及）
the nose gear, the forward windscreen, and two large clear circles that aren't
mentioned in the direction. Nose pieces for a planned TV guided weapon that

Two sets of markings are provided. First is F-15E 89-0487, 4 FW, 335 FS,
（提供兩組塗裝，第一是4聯隊335中隊部隊代號"SJ"
out of Seymour-Johnson AFB, during Desert Storm, with a green tail band trimmed
曾參與波灣戰爭，並以傳奇性的以一枚雷射導引炸彈"擊落"一架低飛盤旋的伊拉克直昇機
in white, and a small grey diving eagle on the inside of the vertical tails..
的F15E，335中隊也是波灣戰爭中唯一獲的完整LANTIRN系統的中隊，AAQ13+AAQ14，其他
This plane was the one used to down the Iraqi helicopter using a LGB. The
部隊最多只有AAQ13。）

虎紋。）
stencil markings fro the plane, nav pods, and even the missiles.
（還有一堆機體注意書的貼紙，夾艙、甚至飛彈也有貼紙）
One last thing to note. Both these planes, according to the World Airpower
（最後一件注意的事，根據WAJ的資料，這兩架飛機安裝的是F100-P&W-220的引擎）
Journal article on the E (Vol 21, Summer 1995) are powered by the -220 version
of
the P&W F-100 engine. After the 134th E the more powerful -229 version was

但是按裝後在CFT上又加裝了兩個輔助進氣口。）
CFT's.
I added these two scoops, working from the Verlinden Lock On book, to my 1/32
本段意指Tamiya的1/32 F15E只能做出安裝舊引擎的F15E，而Verlinen的專輯剛好是以
TAmiya E, and then found out that they were not on the 4 FW planes. The scoops
安裝新引擎的F15E為拍照對象。）

（但是Revell卻有附這兩個輔助進氣口，不過說明書"再次"沒有提及.....又是第二版。）

只要你有Lakenheath"LN"聯隊的貼紙妳可以輕鬆做出134號以後的F15E

再次，revell為何會放這兩個零件在這盒兩種塗裝都不會用到
added for the two subjects markings are provided for?
他們的模型？？
Got sort of long winded, sorry. In closing, this is an excellent kit,
mine cost me a wallet breaking $14.00 ( the shop I bought it at sells at a
discount over suggested retail). This will be one of Revell's best sellers,
I'm sure.

結論：我可能要等一陣子並花好一筆錢去把這傢伙弄到手..................
