Pagey Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 stunning kit to build. the fit was great and only a little bit of filler used. I dont live that far from Lakenheath (Cambridge) and was pleased to find that the F-15j is a japanese version of the F-15c. Might not be 100% accurate but I am happy with it. I brought decals from Caracal models and am happy with the result. The blue is a bit pale, but looks ok. _20180328_184932 by Richard Page, on Flickr _20180328_185109 by Richard Page, on Flickr _20180328_185410 by Richard Page, on Flickr _20180328_190441 by Richard Page, on Flickr _20180328_190653 by Richard Page, on Flickr _20180328_190718 by Richard Page, on Flickr _20180328_190817 by Richard Page, on Flickr _20180328_191056 by Richard Page, on Flickr DSC_0369 by Richard Page, on Flickr DSC_0369 by Richard Page, on Flickr DSC_0404 by Richard Page, on Flickr Used tamiya tape to make intake covers. Luckily the Caracal decals had a couple of nifty spare decals in yellow. Am really happy with the result _20180328_191158 by Richard Page, on Flickr The exhausts are a work of art from the kit. Easch one is made up of 21 parts!! Tried to replicate the white/brown/black insides of the exhausts. Also tried to heat stain the metal panels underneath _20180328_191000 by Richard Page, on Flickr _20180328_190920 by Richard Page, on Flickr _20180328_190848 by Richard Page, on Flickr _20180328_190817 by Richard Page, on Flickr _20180328_185317 by Richard Page, on Flickr _20180328_185208 by Richard Page, on Flickr 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinChipmunkfan Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Well done. Like the painting around the engines, very realistic- used to live in Newmarket so have fond memories of seeing these beasties flying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
