Thanks Dale, David, and Marko! I am very pleased with how this one turned out, especially considering this was built in about 2.5 weeks. David, thanks for the congrats! For the others who don't know, I entered my very first judged contest this past Sunday at the IPMS John Glenn/Western Reserve Cleveland, Ohio Model Show 20, and won 2nd place in the category "1/48 multi-engine Jets". Feels good to succeed in my first try!

still one thind wich iI'm gonna ask Revell, why is there a difference in decal placemnt between the Revell USA and the Revell Germany, in any way viewing pictures on the net, and sorry guys, the Revell USA decals are wrong in some way
Compare the plans of these to kits :

scalemates.com/kits/177886-revell-85-5511-f-15-strike-eagle

Germen, I did not take any underside pics, but I will try to do so tonight. As far as the stencils go, yeah, I do see the difference there. Perhaps the placement of the stencils has moved over the years? Maybe it was correct in 1999 when the original Revell USA came out, and has since changed by the time the RoG was released and those pics were taken. I do not know this, just a possible reason for the difference.

I don't know, but even the Revell 04550 from 2003 is different from 04981 from 2015, i can only aim what I see on real pictures.

Thanks Clifford, Bhm, and Scott! I used Mig Ammo Deep Gray wash for the panel lines and some random spraying of Tamiya smoke on the panel lines for that effect. The Exhausts are done using all Alclads: First, Gloss Black Primer, then Airframe Aluminum over the entire metal area including the nozzles. Then I went in with some Pale Burnt Metal (has a gold cast to it) on the panel lines and edges, then went in with a little Tamiya smoke in some spots. Then I went in with Jet Exhaust and hit the nozzles. I then went back in with some more Airframe Aluminum to dial back and blend in the added effects.

Oh is that all, with that much effort you deserve the fabulous metal results you have achieved. Thanks for taking time to detail your technique
