Greetings.. Here is
my recently finished F-15 Strike Eagle. I'm not going to provide much detail
about the kits build because its so basic that I more or less just wanted to
provide images of the finished product. I built this kit straight OOB with the
exception of the NeoMega ejection seats, Cutting Edge decals and Hasegawa
weapons set "A". The kit was an absolute gem to work with, what a nice
break it was to work on a kit with a nicely detailed cockpit without the
struggle of getting a resin set to fit. No grinding or sanding at all! I don't
know about you guys, but when the pieces slip right in to where they belong, I
feel good.
I used Tamiya
acrylics and let me tell you they went on like silk. The drying time was about
10 minutes which is great because if there is an area that you need to mask, it
can be done almost instantly.
The NeoMega seats
were nice, but a little small. I used Cutting Edge decals and wow, they were
beautiful. They went on with no effort at all.
Overall this kit was
a treat to build, I had little to no difficulties at all. Just a good, fun build
which took about 6-7 weeks. I worked on it an hour here, an hour there.
BTW, my wife bought
me the Tamiya 1/32 F-15E "Bunker Buster" for Xmas, I can't wait to
work on that beast. I'm working on the big Tomcat from Tamiya right now.
I hope you guys like the images.
EJ
