1/72 Academy F-15c MSIP II Blue Fresno Flanker

Hello there.

 

Here is my rendition of the Academy old mold kit. Build wasn't always fun, I've mainly learned how frustrating photoetch can get. Still, I'm eager to start building more recent kits of the Eagle.

 

F-15c MSIP II boxing, Two Bobs decals, Hataka and AK Xtreme Metal colors, Eduard PE, KA Models exhausts, Revell pilot.

Fantastic looking Eagle.

The exhausts look really good!

[gota]

Thank you!

 

Those KA models exhausts are really impressive bits of 3D printed plastic, absolutely worth the steep price. They aren't designed for this kit though, so I had to cheat a little and ended up with an ugly seam line, which thankfully doesn't distract from the detail too much.

Very nice indeed!  Those KA exhausts really look the business and compliment your great-looking Eagle

Very nicely done. I will see if I can get  these pics to Col York (The pilot). I know he will appreciate this.

Sometimes I forget about the power of internets.

Not sure I've ever seen a better looking Eagle, especially in 72nd scale.  Amazing work.

Thanks for the kind comments.

I strived to equal the myriad of better 1/72 Eagles that do exist, and while I'm happy with the result, I still have a long way to go. As usual, the next one will be better
