modelling minion Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Still with us then Enzo! Your Eagle is looking very nice, the metallic areas really stand out against the camouflage. Good to see that the old Airfix decals behaved well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think that being some kind of moderator that he would set an example and actually finish his entries on time wouldn't you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enzo the Magnificent Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 And we're done. I was convinced that the rod on the starboard fin tip would get broken off at some point in the build. However it survived all the way through... almost. I broke it literally twenty minutes before the end of the build! I've replaced it with a short length of stretched sprue. I had thought of plastering the airframe with the plethora of stencils that early F-15s carried as well as replacing the jet exhausts. However, I decided against it as this was supposed to be a fun legacy build. That also explains why there is no detail painting on the ordnance. Despite being over forty years old, this kit still holds up quite nicely today. Airfix will be re-releasing it shortly and I would be interested to build another with modern decals. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I think she looks excellent Enzo,especially considering the age of the kit. Really glad this one made it to the gallery. Very well done. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
