JohnMcDonnell Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Being a "McDonnell" myself, I have a different heart when it comes to McDonnell Douglas aircraft. I had started this with the Jolly Rogers Phantom and have just finished it. Some riveting with a riveter and PE cockpit sets are the extras. Thanks for looking and your comments.

Antti_K Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Oh man... This is beautiful! It takes skill and patience to get these huge 1/32 scale models to look life-like; you have certainly managed to do that. Unfortunately I can press the "like" button only once.

Kind Regards, Antti Thanks so much. 32nd scale is sometimes hard to work with, especially on these modern jets. Handling a big model about 60cm in length proves to be troublesome from time time but I think the results are equally rewarding compared to smaller scales.

Beautiful work Best regards Djordje Yes, it is really big but if you're an aviation enthusiast (like me, you and everybody here) no scale is big enough unless it is a 1/1 scale Thank you so much for your nice comments.

feifeitim Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 That really is a work of art! And so nice to see a Japanese scheme too - they really do have some excellent colours and markings and your example is a superb illustration of this! Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbie(kinda) Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Don't do jets. At all. But F15s are just the most awesome looking aircraft (I've seen them blasting up and down the English Channel from time to time). And your model just encapsulates all that power, aggression and ruthless beauty. Oh and the fit and finish aren't bad either! Thanks for sharing.
