Count me in, I think it goes well.
I saw a Chinese character in the northwest of the cutting mat for pic 25, haha.
I think I ruined 3 models of F-15 before I got a satisfactory result, so just be confident and go for it!😁

There is indeed a chinese character on the cutting mat, I think nowadays every cutting mat is made in china 😉
Thank you for the encouraging words, I am currently trying to get the old Revell decals to work with decal setter and softer solutions.

I finally finished the Strike Eagle. I had some problems with silvering decals, espacially with the air refuelling marking.

Congratulations! You've made it 👍
I think this is a good achievement as your first airbrushed model.
I have two suggestions: 1. Get another better F-15 kit, like academy or greatwall hobby, you deserve a better kit. 2. Keep going, the experience will quickly be accumulated.
Plus: I ruined some kits 30 years ago as kid too. ,🤝

Thank you so much Chan Li, espacially when I look at your really great models. 🙂

Album info
This is the 8th model on my workbench. Over the previous model kits I used all the tools for the first time, including an airbrush, weathering, use putty and sanding, decal solutions and so on. I have some experience in painting 28mm figures for board games with a brush and did some pretty bad model kits ~30 years ago as a kid.
So, if anyone sees this, I am open for every comment, tip, suggestion, etc. to get better in the hobby. Thanks 🙂
