Hello Kevin, If you mean the avionics bay behind the pilot, it's white, but the box with the avionics stuff in it is black. It's not only 963, all the F-15Js are like that. Hope it helps, phoenix

Can anyone tell me what color the avionics bay (Bay 5) is on an F-15J, or even better, specifically 963?
I'm now asking your question on Japanese message board. I will translate to here if someone answered.
Thanks, Kazuo.

What a cool looking machine on F-15DJ.com! It's becoming more and more difficult to keep up with these painting schemes! Any more pictures available? Thanks and best regards Mario

Hi Richard: What I see in my JASDF references it seems to be hanging on the current fighters quite frequently. I believe it's pretty operational. All best Mario

Konnichi-wa Kazuo-san! It's been a while we talked here. Yes, I keep monitoring this stuff! Any news on those aggressor paints? Regarding other thing I e-mail you directly. Arigato Mario
Hi Mario, You are very fast to find! :-) It was 1 st flight of #912 with new camo. So need few more days, I think.
Thanks, Kazuo.

Hi everyone, Can you tell me more about this gorgeously camouflaged plane? Where can I get more pictures to figure out complete camo patterns? Domo arigato Mario

Hi Mario, OK, I'll send it another day. It's really big, so I'm still trying to shrink it.
I would say the relation between F-2 and F-16 is something like the Strike Eagle and normal Eagle. Looks the same, but not at all in the insides. But sorry, I don't know the difference between XF-2 and production F-2. I'll try asking somewhere.
Thanks, phoenix

Hey phoenix: Go ahead, send the picture. Thanks for info on F-2. So I was pretty right having said it was (F-2) basically new design. Would you know if there was a major difference between XF-2 and production model? I built production F-2A from 1/72 XF-2A Hasegawa kit, just put that nice blue-blue camo and Platz decals on, hope I was right. All best Mario

Hi Mario, I've taken a photo of the Hornet model, but it's about 1.2Mega-bytes. If that's all right, I'll send you it. But it's not very good.
About the F-2. It is a sort of a Japanese-version of the F-16. The F-16 was one of the nominees for the F-1 successor, but Japan was not satisfied with any of the current aircrafts. So, they decided to develop a new one. But that really isn't fair, because that is compairing an airplane that hasn't even flown with current aircrafts. And the US goverment partially forced Japan to use one of theirs as the model for that new fighter. That happened to be the F-16. So the new fighter, F-2, turned out to be very similar with the F-16. But the wing and horizontal stabilizer spread has increased, for manueverability(is the spelling OK?). Also, the computers and stuff are newer. Not only that, the structure and stuff is totally different. So that means the F-2 looks very much like the F-16, but the insides are a totally different airplane.
Hope the helps, phoenix

Hola Javi, Muchas gracias. Very interesting and inspiring. What do you know about Mitsubishi F-2, or anybody else here? Reason I'm asking I had little argument elsewhere as was told it's japanese "variant" of F-16! All best Mario

Hey phoenix, Great news on your Hornet. Send me the picture! Funny, I've been thinking about JASDF F-86 as my nex project too. I put decals on "Eiko", 635 with sharkmouth, I mixed paint as Elint-san recommended. Platz is releaseing F-15J Shiro ryu (correct?), I cann't wait. All best Mario

Hello Mario. Sorry for the delay.
Well, it seems that the BBS on Mr.Echigoya's HP doesn't work. I don't know why, but I believe it worked on friday... Try for a few days.

Hi Mario, I've finished my Hornet!! This time I can keep the canopy open. I'd say this one is a success. I'll try an F-86F of the JASDF next time. If the Sabre goes well, I'll go for 'Eiko'.
Glad to hear the info's good. Good luck on your 104, phoenix

Hey phoenix, Domo arigato for both postings. Color mixes are not confusing, I understand that. Very helpful, thanks. Glad to hear Hornet is coming to finish. If painting goes well my "Eiko" could be done in 2 weeks. Then I'm eager to move on to F-15DJ most likely thinking about T-4 and F-1 too. All best Mario

Hello Mario. Do you mean an '84 Senkyo 207 Sq. F-104J, isn't it?
Green Arrow's book says they were painted "Medium Blue-Grey" (upper/lower surfaces) and "Light Blue-Grey" (mid-fuselage). Not very helpful, I'm afraid!
