I admire your tenacity! With all the work you did on the intakes and nozzles - this kit is definitely a labor of love. πŸ˜€. Can't wait to see you finish it!

J35J, you can restore panel lines using a pair of slightly thicker masking tapes, fill in the middle with puttly and sand it smooth before removing it. I think finescale had a YouTube video on how to do that.

Metalisers require a certain sense of masochism 🙂 I always try to paint the metaliser last, although mskign the red in this case is challenging, I admit. In general, the sequence of paints is very important in all cases and is certainly important with pesky colors such as yellow

Beautiful build! Did you have to treat the decals to prevent them from shattering?
18 March, 20:59
Neil
Hi CaptGPF, thanks for your like and comment πŸ‘ actually for a 40+ year old kit, the decals on this one were pretty useable. In my experience you've just got to be extra careful and avoid softening agents as they will make them disintegrate. I love to build using only the original kit decals wherever possible, but it's always a delicate process... More so than when using a fresh new set where you can pile on the pre and post solutions to help it all settle and adhere.

Hi all πŸ™‚ So I'm still catching up... I've got around to taking reveal pictures for many of my previous build albums. I shall be updating each and including a few build notes in the description too - especially on the bits I messed up! Broke! Dropped! etc. This time I present my version of the Italeri Nighthawk, completed back in 2022.

As usual I made a few mistakes on this build, not least broke (and lost) the antennas on the leading edge. Of course, I could have made something else work, but to be honest I've got this aircraft several times more in the stash. So I'll just make a better job next time! Hahaha! The aged decals with the kit were also completely unusable, so on this occasion I had to buy an aftermarket set.

I learned a lot about how to try and mimic/paint that stealth finish, my next effort will be better. I also used a healthy dollop of artistic licence too in highlighting the angular shape/edges. Thanks to all who showed interest and liked, it's very much appreciated from such a talented lot as you guys. Hope you like my efforts. 👍

Blimey CaptGPF no one's ever referred to me as an expert! I definitely wouldn't say I'm that. But it's very kind of someone with your skills to even say such a thing mate πŸ™‚ chuffed!

This was my first ever 1/48 F-15 build completed a couple of years ago and I learned a lot. Especially working with an old Monogram kit. So hopefully I'll do better justice to your kind comment next time. As I've got a few more Eagles in the stash mate 😁
