You have done a remarkable job on this kit Jorgen. I bought one of these when they first came out but haven't built up the courage to get it started. When I was a kid our next door neighbour brought a fleet of these to Niagara Falls for tours. My dad helped get the business going by driving tours for him on occasion. He would also make trips to Montreal to drive buses to Niagara Falls when they came off the ships from the UK. I have many fond memories as a kid riding along with my dad in the cab. I would sit on the box to the right of the drivers seat thinking I was an integral part of running the bus. I seem to recall the turn signal know was located on that box. I'm not sure if it was relocated there or if it is just my poor memory.

You have done a great job painting the details in the cockpit and seats. Amazing detail for 1/144th. Like others have said, there is no way I could get results like you have Dazz. Looking forward to seeing more. -

Very nice work. The pilots face looks so real. This must be a huge kit. -

You are doing a fine job with this kit. Too bad all that nice engine detail is sealed up. I'm looking forward to seeing this one completed. -
Thanks Les.

They have been re-issued recently Filler. You should have no problem getting one at your LHS or online. I have one in storage I bought many years ago but couldn't get to it when I wanted to build it for the GB. I went to Michaels and they had quite a few of them there. As Dave says they really are a nice kit to work with. Rob

Thanks guys I thought the seats sit a little high as well. This is how they fit into the tub so I thought I would see how they look once I have them in the fuselage before adjusting them. I think there are some that are grey and then there are others black. I used this as my reference. I am not an expert by any means so I appreciate all of your comments. Rob -

I have finished up the cockpit and started to cleanup the intakes. Boy, my detailing needs a lot of work. -
To model the F-15C from the Oregon ANG I don't think the CFTs are used. My understanding is that US F-15Cs initially carried CFTs when they entered service but no longer carry them. US F-15Es do use them. However, you are right. It would be nice to have them if one wanted to build an Israeli F-15 C/D.

The standard pictures of the unbuilt kit. There is no sign of any flash at all. Academy has also included so photo-etch parts for ths kit. The decal sheet is very nice.

I managed to get a little more time in the model room tonight. I put together the Aces II ejection seats. Very nice details for OOB. Rob -
Off to a slow start. It has been a very long time since I have work with photo etch so this may take some time. I managed to get the pilots seat together tonight.

Your cockpit is looking great. The resin seats have great details. I hope I can bring out a similar result with the kit supplied seats. -

It's playoff NFL football that is holding me back. -
After doing a ton of research last night for the F-15E build I am doing for this group build I decided to go ahead and build the Academy F-15C as well. I plan on building the 2 kits side-by-side which will be interesting to compare the 2 kits. I am going to use the very nice decals that hace come with the kit to model 78-0488 173 FW from Kinsley Field Oregon. Once again I plan on doing this kit OOB with the exception of a QuickBoost Pilot seat.

I managed to get a little done today on the F-15E. Painted the base color on the cockpit. Not much but it is a start.
