1/48 Revell F-15E Strike Eagle - In Flight & Lit Up


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

This is a project I did for a very good friend of mines' 50th. Well suffice to see it could also have been for his 51st as it took over a year on and off to complete!

It's based on an early configuration F-15E from the 48FW at RAF Lakenheath which we have both visited many times.

Happy birthday chap!

Looks great and super impressive :thumbsup: ... My one piece of friendly advice is in the future if you repeat the build i would tone the cockpit lighting down and bring it more to a green tone. Again Great model !

Many thanks chaps, much appreciated and yes, my friend is very happy with it. He just needs to collect without breaking it!

 

Unfinished - No worries, I'm all for light-hearted 😉

Corsair - Great idea on the green - a much more usual lighting colour. Next time!

Armoured76 - The batteries are hidden in the airbrake housing. The F-15 is great for that as its always difficult to find a sufficiently large gap to stuff them in.

When did it change from red: red doesn't destroy night vision.

Hello @VMA131Marine thanks for asking. However my comment was referring to the  cockpit lighting as it looks now. Which is standard instrument lighting. Which to my eyes has always had a bit more greenish cast to it. Not electric blue ? That was my only reason for suggesting it. I didn't tell Richie B to rip it out or that it was horrible ?
