viperchief Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Hi all! Recently completed 1/72 Academy F-15E. Rather than the usual all grey scheme, I went with a specially painted jet to commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the 4th Fighter Wing. Lots of big decals! They are by DXM and printed by Cartograf. They are superb! I used MRP paint and added Aires exhausts because the kit exhausts are really bad.. Also added masking tape seat belts. Other than that, it was a fantastic kit to build! Thanks for looking! Edited November 28, 2018 by viperchief 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAAMAN Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Good lord that's spectacular, great work What's MRP paint (Military Reproduction Paint ?? Maybe ??) ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unfinished project Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 That’s a beauty who would have thought an extra shade of grey and a little splash of colour could transform this normally drab machine 👍👍👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmerboy Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Great job, not only the build and paint job but to get those decals to settle down and fit so perfectly shows a lot of skill and patience in any scale! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe ??) ? Thank you! MRP paint is an acrylic lacquer that is produced in Slovakia. It is hands down the best paint I have ever used! It comes ready to spray in a wide range of colors. It is very thin and that allows you to build it up slowly to your desired level of saturation. It does smell and requires the use of a mask/spray booth.

Thanks! The decals are fantastic and made the biggest contribution! :-) I used DACO Strong decal solution and it really made the decals melt into the details. Highly recommended! http://www.dacoproducts.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vultures1 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 That looks great! Love the special scheme and the Aires exhausts make a big difference too. Well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
