Hi all, Though I'd start a quick build while I wait for my Falklands GB kit to arrive. The scale means that I might make progress with the limited bench time. An hour in I'm here, fuse it together and conformal tanks fitted, then I took a pic of the top ..doh!  |

Cheers guys, yes the F-15 is a big bird for a two seater!
Ian, I've not even looked at the decals yet, I think they're for an Afghan deployment.
Just working on what to do with the jet pipes, pic tomorrow to show you the issue.

Thanks for stopping by my little build fellas  Here's the issue with the exhaust fans, too over simplified compared to the real thing even if we are in 1\144, I think just a bit of detail needed? Sorry for the blurry pic  |

I've been playing with some spares box stuff today to find a 1\144 solution for the cans, might be making progress... Maybe..

Evening all. Another few hours in and I'm here. The Revell instructions are a mess in that they give the wrong part numbers when there are left and right sides, found that out with the bomb rails and fins. I've had this one for a few years so hopefully they've corrected them by now  Cockpit done. Exhaust cans have some etch wrapped around them, they look okay to the eye but no so much in pictures as they are magnified. Out of focus too   All closed up. Due to the fins being mixed up left and right I had to make a new larger ECM pod out of scrap. Looks okay I think. A wipe of filler here and there and the cockpit coloured in, ready for primer now.   |
