Jos JansenAnd I'm going to follow yours ... haha🙂! I intend to display the canopy open, flaps down, remove before flight tags and missile head protectors...mine will be an interceptor version.
2 June 2019, 20:28
Maciej BellosI'd say Gunze. They spray pretty good. The gunze light ghost grey is less blueish than say Humbrol 127, which was my preferred cup of tea. So there should be some contrast between the light and the dark ghost greys.
7 June 2019, 22:06
DanielI think I would chose 203 as is & 307 with some drops of White...really like your choice of markings, I built one of those wolfhounds with the ancient monogram kit some years ago, when I re-started with modelling
9 June 2019, 22:27
Jos JansenThe first phase of the primer is ready, lightly sanding with a Tamiya 3000 sanding sponge sheet...
16 June 2019, 16:08
Donald Dickson IIAh, another of these! I will say again, you can not go wrong with the Model Masters colors. IMO they are spot on.
20 June 2019, 23:14
Jos JansenThx guys for all your comments, highly appreciated!
I add some new progress pics; pre-shading / gloss black base for the metal color on the fuselage and open exhaust nozzles / creating a clear canopy by immersing it in the future...
21 June 2019, 22:35
Slavo HazuchaPromising looking pre-shading! Seems the journey is going in the right direction, happy to follow 🙂
22 June 2019, 13:30
Jos JansenThx....hop on Slavo! 👍
I am completely convinced of the quality of Alclad, the appearance of the metal color comes out perfectly with the Gloss Black Base from Alclad. After I applied the pre-shadin I applied accent spots with satin white from Ammo, Mig J. The final layers of paint I also choose Ammo from Mig, because I feel that these are the closest to the original colors that were used on the F-15 in the 1980s. I'm not in a hurry so I build in a slow pace with different phases.
23 June 2019, 09:31
Jos JansenThx Kees, Iam taking a break these upcoming days...hopefully the first layer of the final paint these weekend!
24 June 2019, 18:14
Jos JansenFinally started with the final colors of the seventies and eighties F15 color scheme ...!
7 July 2019, 06:37
Slavo HazuchaPre-shading seems to work excellent on both greys, with the panel lines & some decent weathering it will look just great. Your process shots also brought me to an idea for a future project😉
7 July 2019, 20:05
Jos JansenThx Konrad, Kees, James and Slavo...!
@James, I am not done with the camouflage yet, I want to add some gray accents (post-shading) here and there before applying a glossy varnish.
@Slavo...a little bit of advice from you my friend, what about the weathering, shall I do a black panel line wash or ... I also have several gray panel line washes from Mig Jimenez, the A.Mig 1600, 1601 and the 1602, this perhaps gives a more subtle look ... what do you think?
7 July 2019, 20:51
Maciej BellosNice camo Jos! Since the colours are a bit light, some dark gray wash would be ok. The black would be too profound.
7 July 2019, 21:00
Slavo HazuchaMorning Jos, my humble bit of advice: On my model, I worked with oils, mostly pure black & thinned to different degrees - on MRP colors (lacquer, semi-gloss), they were absolutely controllable in terms of final effect & hue so I could get what I wanted. But I also wanted the side effect of a slightly darkened & uneven finish on the major color surfaces, not just panel lines. Black was OK for my project, because it was no problem to remove as much as I needed, with dry or slightly thinner-dipped towel or cotton wad. If you do not want the slight darkening of surfaces, I'd probably go for the darkest grey panel wash. Depends on the degree of effect you want.
8 July 2019, 07:08
Jos JansenHey Slavo...thx brother for your feedback, I understand what you say Slavo, now I have reasonable experience with a black wash and therefore also for the panel lines. For this I use the black oil paint of Abteilung 502 in various diluted variants. I think I will go for a general wash over the plane and emphasize the panel lines, whether diluted or not. The color scheme is light enough in itself, so it doesn't hurt if a slightly dark (gray) filter comes over it...
8 July 2019, 11:49
Jos JansenThx Jan and Patrick, today I finished the final painting scheme of the early F-15 in the eighties...only some pre-shading and I am ready for the glossy varnish to apply the decals...happy!
13 July 2019, 18:52
Erik LeijdensAmazing work mate! Really looking forward to the end result, so I have a benchmark when building mine 🙂
14 July 2019, 12:56
Jos JansenAfter the post-shadening, I finished my Eagle with the ALC-600 Alclad Aqua Gloss Clear ... fantastic Gloss, becomes a super hard layer... lightly sand with a Tamiya 3000 sponge for a super smooth surface. Before I place the decals, first I treat the panel lines with A.MIG-1602 Deep Gray Panel Line Wash. I find this more subtle than a black wash ...
16 July 2019, 21:00
Slavo HazuchaAlready a beauty in mid-decal work 👍 the process you describe seems very reasonable - on my Su-34, the panel lines were so thin and shallow that I chickened out and did panel lines before the gloss (but MRP's have a semi gloss+ finish already), afraid to fill them up too much with varnish layers before weathering... 🙂 This looks great, the shading, lines & decals...
21 July 2019, 17:51
Patrick HagelsteinI agree, a black wash would be way too harsh. The grey looks very subtle!
21 July 2019, 18:05
Jos Jansen@Patrick and Daniel, thx mates...a gray wash is indeed much more subtle ... I am very satisfied with this result!
This method worked out well Slavo, I actually think that I will often do a layer less to keep the panel-lines as deep as possible. Military jet aircraft do not have to be heavily weathered, a panel-line wash is often enough. What is important is that every time the layers you apply are smooth for the best results. Possible weathering can also be applied with pastels.
21 July 2019, 23:07
Maciej BellosLooking really good with all those decals. One thing that I didn't like going to low visibility, were the insignia used on the F-15s. The F-16 insignia look much better. Looking forward to the end result.
23 July 2019, 20:55
Jos JansenThx Konrad, Maciej and Slavo...it's a hell of a job but it turned out really nice and yes Slavo I agree...."Great balls of Fire"...😉
24 July 2019, 07:59
Jos JansenThank you James, the build is on hold for a moment ... in Europe, it is now high summer, in recent days it was around 40 degrees in the Netherlands...!! In my mancave, it was bloody hot, so for now, no modeling for me ... instead of the bench, I prefer to grab a beer and sit in the shade relaxing...😉
26 July 2019, 22:24
Jos JansenThe high temperature slowly drops back to normal here in the Netherlands, finally finished decalling my "Slobberin Wolfhound" ...
27 July 2019, 23:00
Donald Dickson IIJos, you guys do have air conditioning dont you?😉 LOL
Looks great!
27 July 2019, 23:47
Erik LeijdensGreat work Jos. A lot of dedication is put into it, good to see that 🙂. Gives me inspiration to go back to the bench!
28 July 2019, 07:55
Dominik WeitzerJos, that paintjob looks amazing! I have to read and watch your work again to get this look. I like it! Not too much, just right.
Btw, my bench is in the baseground - was really cool those hot days on the German borderside of the Netherlands .
28 July 2019, 08:01
Jos JansenThx y'all guys for your encouraging words, in the coming weeks I will try to finish my "Slobberin Wolfhound" from the former 32TFS Afb Soesterberg NLD.
30 July 2019, 22:15
Nathan DempseyThat F-15 is getting better every time I see the next picture. Nice work Jos!
31 July 2019, 00:59
Slavo HazuchaGreat weathering job on the engine section Jos! 👍 Really like the approach with the increasing streaks from LG wells backwards, well done!
31 July 2019, 05:52
Konrad -What a great job mate! What a great job...
Looking forward to the roll out 😉!
1 August 2019, 18:49
Jos JansenThe Slobberin Wolfhound is on its feet ... 😉 Once the resin ejection seat of Aires is ready, I can start assembling and apply the final layer of a mix of Satin and Matt Lacquer Clear Coat from HATAKA.
1 August 2019, 18:52
Slavo HazuchaKeeps getting better and better! And a lovely load-out of missiles too 👍
1 August 2019, 19:25
Erik LeijdensI discovered that the Aces II seats of the F-16 and F-15 differed in the position of the ejection handle. For the F-16 it was a single piece in the middle and the 15 haves 2 handles on the outsides.
1 August 2019, 23:21
Jos JansenSeat is ready...before I place it in the cockpit, a picture of the result.
@Erik...thanks for your research, by the way, I have also seen the single ejection handle on photos ... I can remove it in no time, no problem...🙂 (...again thx for the support 😉)
2 August 2019, 19:52
Slavo HazuchaExpert job on the seat - a nice mold & PE as a start, and you really got the max out of it! 👍 Looks like this will be one of these jury-proof builds!😉
3 August 2019, 09:02
Sergej INice model! I like the lacquer paints. How is Hataka lacquer thinner? Slow drying, fast drying, how often do you clean the needle in a 0,3ish airbrush?
5 August 2019, 17:47
Jos Jansen@ Daniel...glad you like it, this weekend I'm going to photograph him in a photo booth, please wait...😉
@ Sergej...I did not use HATAKA paint, only the final layer was done with a mix of 50:50 Satin and Matt Lacquer Clear Coat. I do have the pressure between 1.2 and 1.5 Psi for a nice thin final top coat. I have 0.2 nozzle and have no problems with quick drying on the needle. I mix the Satin and Matt 1:1 with the HATAKA Lacquer thinner.
I painted the plane with Ammo from Mig Jimenez acrylic paint, the spray is nice and tight with a little Mig thinner, but the paint from Gunze is stronger and you can also sand the Gunze paint lightly to apply a nice smooth Gloss layer.
5 August 2019, 20:30
Holger KranichDamn nice build! Really a tasty Eagle. But why the russian cockpit blue in your pit? I am looking forward your rollout.😉
7 August 2019, 11:20
Patrick HagelsteinThat's only for the avionics compartment. For some reason that was primed in a blue metallic primer similar to WWII Japanese aircraft.
7 August 2019, 14:06
Jos JansenThx Sergej (and welcome at our aggressor GB...👍), thx ForestFan, glad you like it!
@Holger and Patrick...appreciate your comments, and thx Patrick for the explanation...i didn't know this detail about the avionics bay, I only saw ref pics in my research...👍 🙂
8 August 2019, 05:34
Patrick HagelsteinIn case of any doubt; just look at pictures of the real thing. 😉 Has worked for me every time. 😄
8 August 2019, 14:51
Jos JansenToday is the roll-out, may I introduce you to the Slobberin Wolfhound, an F-15C 32TFS USAFE from the former Soesterberg airbase in the Netherlands. Thanks to everyone for the often praising and enthusiastic words during the building of my Eagle, this was certainly appreciated!
Enjoy the roll-out photos it was an honor to build a former American interceptor who has flown for years in the Dutch skies. 🙂
This kit will be published in Model Aircraft Monthly soon.
11 August 2019, 07:28
Slavo HazuchaAbsolutely great show Jos! 👍 👍 👍 Consistently superb work start-to-finish, agree with James, the whole engine section is a joy to behold & also special praise for the smart work on the 2 main greys plus weathering - shading, colors & post production just create a seriously cool outcome overall. You know your trade sir & I am very much looking forward to the Aggressor October show!😉
11 August 2019, 07:47
Moritz FentzahnGreat work Jos, a stunning Show stopper.
Scale modeling at its best 👍
11 August 2019, 08:58
Nathan DempseyShe's a real beauty Jos. Fine work all around. Congratulations on the publication too, it's well deserved 🙂
11 August 2019, 11:32
Maciej BellosStunning result in all aspects. The engine area is being dirty at its best! Kudos Jos!
11 August 2019, 12:33
DanielAmazing work jos! I'd say you nailed the subtle camo of the early eagles and the weathering is awesome as well 👍 quite impressive result for a kit from the 80s
11 August 2019, 14:55
Patrick HagelsteinI can look at this as long as I want, I still wouldn't be able to find the right words for appraisal of this build........ Speechless....
11 August 2019, 16:19
Jos JansenThx Murad, James, Stephan, Slavo, Moritz, Nathan, Maciej, B R, Eelco, Donald, BAT21, Daniel, Patrick, Sergej I, Chris and Roland 👍...your enthusiastic comments are really heartwarming, thank you for these beautiful words. Modelling is also nice to share and especially if the hard and long work is appreciated...🙂
Next project....an Indonesian F-16... already a warm-up for my Blizzard Viper for the aggressor GB this fall ... 😎

11 August 2019, 19:01
Slavo HazuchaCool choice 👍 - but what about the Argentinian ship-buster?😉
& btw, did you use some proper camera for the final pics? Really nice focus & depth features...
11 August 2019, 19:07
Jos JansenI am building this Indo Viper in a duo build with a friend of mine, he is building a Moroccan Viper ... as I said, a nice warm-up for the GB aggressor! The Argentinian ship-buster will see the light of day around Christmas ... I think 🙂
11 August 2019, 19:17
Jos JansenKonrad thanks for your great comment, I think that's the best compliment you can get...8)👍
12 August 2019, 21:45

Murad ÖZERbase is stunning as much as the build itself, double gorgeous now!😎
10 November 2019, 11:03
Jos JansenMy F-15C Eagle 'Slobberin Wolfhound' received a "Highly Commended" from the professional jury during the Euro Scale Modelling (ESM) in Houten (NED) ... very satisfied with it...🙂
24 November 2019, 06:16
Jos JansenThanks Hans, Nathan, Roland, Spanjaard, Daniel and Markus...your comments and congratulations are highly appreciated...!
26 November 2019, 10:24
Günther DecockPrachtig werk Jos. Ik ben ook naar de beurs geweest. En in het echt is uw model nog mooier dan op foto. Proficiat.
26 November 2019, 11:45
Slavo HazuchaCongrats Jos, what a finish 👍 Looking great from all angles & on the airstrip too - you really know your trade around these beauties. All praise well deserved in a formidalbe line-up, my hat is off (permanently +/- as you know😉 )
2 December 2019, 10:50
Jos JansenThx Slavo and Clifford...and Slavo what a great compliment man, I really appreciate your feedback!
4 December 2019, 22:06
Patrick HagelsteinSomebody made it into the December 2019 issue of Model Aircraft Monthly......
20 December 2019, 12:50
Jos Jansen@Patrick...The british post is delayed, I have not received the december copy of the MAM yet, as soon as I have it I will post pictures from this...!
@Nathan and James...thx man, really appreciated your comments!
20 December 2019, 20:39
Patrick HagelsteinI was rumaging through some modeling magazines while Christmas shopping and saw a very familiar bird. 🙂
20 December 2019, 22:11
Slavo HazuchaI guess the works of Jos would make for a great annual print magazine on their own..! 👍😉
Merry Christmas & keep those beauties coming!
24 December 2019, 09:23
Jos JansenMy first publication of a built model, I am so excitic! Due to delivery problems, I haven't received the December edition of Model Aircraft Magazine yet, but I want to share this with you!
13 January 2020, 21:02
Patrick HagelsteinThere you go! I loved reading the article and having the build as a reference over here at Scalemates. 🙂 Well done Jos! 👍
13 January 2020, 21:04
Konrad -Wow that is really awesome mate👍! Congrats to you and enjoy that moment 👍!
13 January 2020, 21:22
Clifford KeeslerYes, they are going to be hard acts to follow. But praise well deserved.
14 January 2020, 01:10
Günther DecockHoi Jos, prachtig wederom. Ik ben echt een fan geworden van jouw werk. ????
6 February 2020, 09:17
Mark van der VeldenWow, ik ben diep onder de indruk Jos! Ik moet nog even oefenen zie ik al 😉
Over de Wolfhounds gesproken, ken je dit verhaal?
nationalinterest.org..russian-mig-23-62297
We waren voor de verandering eens in Nederland toen, op de Dumoulinkazerne, en hebben die F15's toen zien, en vooral horen, vertrekken.
19 March 2020, 11:53
Jos JansenThx Mark...nee dat verhaal ken ik niet, wel interessant! Dumoulin...long time ago....haha!
25 March 2020, 11:54
Bryn CrandellCongratulations! This ranks up with being on the cover of the Rolling Stone. Probably higher in my opinion.
25 March 2020, 15:42
Frank FolkertsmaMooi Jos! Vraagje, welke uitlaat zet heb jij gebruikt? De kit komt met de "turkey feathers" en ik zie dat jij de open variant hebt
30 April 2021, 08:18
Jos JansenThx Frank and Mark...(in Dutch), Folkert de open uitlaten komen uit een Academy kit.
30 April 2021, 14:38
GiorgosCongrats Jos! Outstanding!
I just bought the same kit and I am researching other mates' builds. Questions:
(a) Any trouble fitting the AIRES ejection seat in the cockpit? Are the dimensions ok?
(b) Did you use the kit's decals for the cockpit? I am thinking about getting the Eduard PE for Hasegawa, as I see other mates here have successfully managed to fit it, but I wonder how the decals look like in the finished model... Would a close up photo be possible at this stage? (I hope this is not too much to ask 🙂 )
10 August 2022, 11:39
David H@Giorgios, Thankyou for bouncing this. Truly outstanding eagle. I remember these flying out of RAF alconbury as a 15year old kid…
10 August 2022, 21:13
NeilWhat else is there left to say mate! Other than I'm in total agreement with others, Outstanding indeed! 👏👏 And of course congratulations 👍👍
