My friends gave me this kit for my birthday. The model is molded crisply and builds up well for its age. The worst part was getting the intakes to fit. I expended a huge amount of effort, filler, and sandpaper during that phase of the project.

I scratch-built the seatbelts and the rearview mirrors. The model was completely brushpainted as I don't own an airbrush. I used a bit of artistic license for the colors of the speedbrake and the installation of the vertical stabilizer counterweights and rear sensors (which the real F-15J does not carry).

Weathering using thinned enamel paint was kept to a bare minimum. Hope you like it!
