Good Morning,

just want show you my recently finished model. Revells F-15E Strike Eagle is the best F-15E Kit in 1/48 available at the best price. I added Quickboost Seats and scratched the seat rails.The rest is OOB. Painted with Revell Aqua.

All the best

Hi Pete,

what a beauty! As you said, the Revell kit is the first choice in 1/48!

What´s next on the bench?

Hi Aviano,

thanks for your kind words.

I´m still working on my Typhoon, have a look http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234995086-revell-eurofighter-typhoon-twinseater-148/

Just started painting and hopefully I can show some new pictures next weekend,

Hi Pete,

Oh a Typhoon..... I builded the 1/32 single seater last year, my first build after break of ca. 30years. It was terrible..... these intakes.......

Now, the son of my friend would like to have my Typhoon and i promised to his birthday he will get him, so i must build another Eurofighter -> this time in 1/48, but also a single seater!

Your Typhoon looks really good, excellent seats and cockpit, sir! Will follow this build!

That is a beautiful build Pete and expertly painted!!

Hard to believe that it is OOB other than the bits you've mentioned!! Are those exhaust cans made from stock kit parts too, they look so very well detailed that I thought you had added some aftermarket etch or resin parts to them?!!

Hey Kev,

the nozzles are OOB and they look much better than all the others ones like Great Wall Hobby.....

I really can recommend this kit, especially the cockpit is great.

Some better detailed LANTRIN Navigation Pod and LANTRIN Targeting Pod would be a good addition.

Really nice work there! That is an excellent kit and you did it justice! Looks like the pilot dropped one of the tanks on the tarmac. ; )

Really nice work - well done. I'm curious…..I cannot make out if there has been a genuine increase in the number of 1:48 scale F-15E Strike Eagle builds lately or whether I am just more aware of them because I am about to embark upon one myself.

Still this is one of the nicest and one seen in rather unusual markings (most seem to be MO, SJ or LN jets).

Great Stuff !

Superb Eagle

Superb work! I like the painting and weathering very much. That's a nice effect on the afterburner section!

Hi Peter,

If that's the kit you picked up in FFB, that is astonishingly fast work!

An excellent job done there.

[Knaupel]

Thank you so much for your kind words.

Yes, it was his first day and it was a Monday ;-)

I thought the same.... I´m looking forward for your F-15 I still have three in my stash

no, I started this one last year. I´m a very slow builder as you can see at my current build. Unfortunately I only have to two or three hours a week for modeling....

all the best

Pete
