gota Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 (edited) 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. Thank you for looking!

modelling minion Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Fantastic looking Eagle. The exhausts look really good! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gota Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 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.

Vultures1 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Very nice indeed! Those KA exhausts really look the business and compliment your great-looking Eagle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod bettencourt Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Very nicely done. I will see if I can get these pics to Col York (The pilot). I know he will appreciate this. Rod 144th FW Airfield Manager Fresno ANGB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickandrews7 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Not sure I've ever seen a better looking Eagle, especially in 72nd scale. Amazing work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gota Posted May 14, 2019 Author Share Posted May 14, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
