Daniel MysakOne weak point of the new Revell F-15E is the wings trailing edge. It´s about 1mm thick *-) . So I sanded it down and replaced the fuel jittison pipe.

Daniel MysakDid some steps forward, the main fuselage parts are already joined and the fit was very good.

Daniel MysakAs a preparation for the lowered intakes, I painted the fuselage to place the decals which will be later hidden by the intakes.

AlexanderAgreed, cockpit looks nice as all the little scratch building in general. Seems like this kit is not that easy (typical of Revell) but your build shows great progress! 👍

Daniel MysakThanks mate! Yes, where there is light, there is also shadow, especially at Revell. Unfortunately, there are some bugs that shouldn't appear on a 2021 or 2022 tool.

AlexanderThe steel pin is a nice solution. Did you sand it too to get it to a conical shape or was it that way already?

Daniel MysakThanks guys!
@Alexander It already has this shape, it is a kind of nail for certain applications. I only sanded it a bit to blend in with the shape of the nose.

AlexanderThanks Daniel. Can you say what kind of nail it is exactly? I would find it quite useful to know.

Daniel MysakThanks Bernd!
@Alexander I have absolout no clue, I found them in the basement of my grqandfathers house, can´t even say how old they are, probably older than me 🙂. Maybee the are kind of nails for wooden skirtings ore something, at least the have no head.

Daniel MysakAfter the nozzles were finished last week, I continued with the hot section on the fuselage.

Daniel MysakDue to my own fault I had to fill and sand at the stabilizers again. There is no visible panelline on the real aircraft between them and the fuselage.

Łukasz GlińskiNice resin you've got there 👍 My bondic makes the chrome underneath matt for some reason 🙁

Oliver ZwienerHye Daniel, I will use the Fujimi 72235 BSK-4 - a semi snap-tite kit, which I bought more than 10 years ago ....
