Does any after-market manufacturer make the long pylons, located on the
underside of the CFT's on the F-15E? Or do they come standard with any
F-15E kit in this scale? I've got Hasegawa and AMT kits.

Good enough!

Yes, the Airfix kit does have the correct smaller pylons to go onto
the CFT's on the bEagle. If you're looking to backdate and do the
_OLD_ style pylons, the Monogram F-15E is a quite decently
accurate kit of the prototype bEagle and has the long 'rod type'
MERs set to carry 500#'s. Neither the Airfix or the Monogram kits
are anything to write home about. Having said that, however, I do
have to say that you get quite a bit more than what you're paying
for in both kits. Big problem with the Monogram is the fuselage
halves don't line up well, and the Airfix kit suffers from the same
airbrake problem that ALL 1/72 kits seem to and that the plastic
is quite soft and usually warped.

Hope that this helps!
