Bryce NicelySure, Germen. This is actually for a groupbuild on reddit, but there's no reason it can't be part of yours either

Michael PhillipsLooks great Bryce, those seats are fantastic. I am still waiting for mine to arrive in the mail from UK. Our little group build is highly casual (and quite accidental), so you are already in it just by building a Revell Strike Eagle on Scalemates. LOL

Bryce NicelyThanks, Michael. I just took a look at yours and it seems to be in a really good place. I built the Revell Mudhen a long time ago but it's still a pretty good kit and one that goes together quite well. What paints are you going to be using to finish it?
27 October 2016, 15:37
Michael PhillipsThanks Bryce! This is my first attempt at this kit, and first F-15 in general (15th model total). I agree, it really does go together nicely, I am sure I will build another some day. I am using Gunze H305 Gunship Gray. I am trying to go a bit darker on mine, since pics of the Alaskan F-15Es tend to show them to be pretty dark and less faded than some other squadrons.

Germen Vi think that you cockpit interiour color is a bit to bright, i painted it H317

Bryce NicelyEh, it might be a little bit, Germen, but once everything is in, it'll dull down a little bit and won't be hit with so much light. The correct color is Neutral Gray, or Haze Gray in navy terms. I used RAF Medium Gray which was close enough for my liking.

Donald Dickson IIThis is absolutely the best 15E in 1/48 scale out there. I've built one and I have another to build once I find some cool decals aftermarket.

Germen VDonald, maybe this one :

Bryce NicelyI agree, Donald. I've heard good things about the newish Academy kit but I still prefer this one. And there are a lot of good AM sets for it. I have the Astra Decals set for all the Lakenheath jets, that I'm using for this build, but Twobobs also has a few good ones, like the TMOTA set that Germen shared.

That one is the one I did.
Germen, yes! One of the guys in my IPMS chapter did that one. If I cant find anything else interesting, I am tempted to do that one.

Donald Dickson IISorry about the multiple posts. My computer wasnt showing them. Piece of junk it is.
30 October 2016, 22:54
Bryce NicelyHeh, I thought you were having some problems there, Donald. I wish adding links in comments here was a bit easier than it is.

Germen Vi'am thinking azbout bying those decals also, i like it that they have hidden a She-Devil and the Playboy bunny in the tiger stripes. But on the other side than i have 3 Mountainhome Tigers, the one i'm building with the 9/11 rememberence, the previous Revell kit the 1998 tigermeet, and then this 2005. And i would also use the Acadmey kit. I saw it at friend of mine and it looks very good also.

Donald Dickson III am going to order them tomorrow. And their new F16A Viper set.

Michael PhillipsThis is really coming along Nicely Bryce! (see what I did there? LOL)
Looking forward to seeing your progress!!!

Murad ÖZERi got scared when i saw the right wing leading edge thinking something happened to the model, than i realized it was intentional and relieved. 🙂

Bryn CrandellGreat looking Eagle! love the paint chipping effects and the cannibalized panels and such.
10 January 2017, 14:28
Dale MarstonComing along nicely. I've never seen the E with light panels before interesting.
17 January 2017, 06:40
Bryce NicelyThey were some replacement panels from, I'm guessing, a C model. I've seen more recent photos of the same jet and they've been repainted to match the rest of it.
17 January 2017, 18:40
Donald Dickson IIThere is a pic out there of an E with an air brake from a C. Looks rather interesting.
17 January 2017, 18:48
Dale MarstonIt must be the aircraft version of Panzer Primer. Anyway the colour variation looks nice and adds interest. 👍
17 January 2017, 22:16
Bryce NicelyI think I have that photo, Donald, or at least a photo of a mudhen with a C speed brake. Pretty sure the photo is a jet from Mountain Home, Idaho.
And thanks, guys. Hoping to finish her up by the weekend.
