Looks really great. Can't tell that it was dropped and repaired. Excellent on the shading. Most impressed with the paint.

Hi, 

 

Thanks, really chuffed with how it all came out. A bit slow on progress now, stencil data going on and desperately trying to find a replacement canopy but to no avail as I just know it's going to ruin the overall look 😣

Quick question as things are slow going at mo and life gets in the way, hope someone can help?! I've seen a lot of photos of eagles in theatre on ops with heavy wear areas with primer poking through the grey. Anyone know a colour match for this or mix to achieve?

These pictures were taken different years and backgrounds. One was complete sunshine and the other was overcast. Camera settings were the same with different results in color. My thought would be to do your best on color shading.

 

All the best

Finished 👍 hope to get some proper pics up soon of completed build! 

 

Gotta Say, I loved this revell kit. Apart from dropping it on its wing early on, the only trouble I have had has been the pesky clear parts which I feel lets this kit down due to so much flash on mine and the split canopy in the box. Not sure if all kits are same but I feel this one slipped the quality control on that front.

Hi Tonka,

 

Your F-15E looks great. What shade of grey did you use for the airframe. Just about to start the Tamiya 1/32 F-15E for a mate and can't decide whether the gunship grey looks too dark for a 2018 machine.

 

Cheers,

Neil
