Mates Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) Hi! A few days ago I finished the F-15E from the Academy. Easy construction, very good detail. I just changed the nozzles to Aires. Main color painted FS36118 from AK RC. I also used Tamiya, Gunze, Vallejo and AK Xtreme metal paints.

Lightningboy2000 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 That looks fantastic & the grey tone looks just right. Looks like you've got rid of the canopy seam pretty well! Crazy that you open the box & everything else looks spot on then a glance at that clear canopy means you have to sand & buff it out! Superb job. 👍 Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mates Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 (edited) @Lightningboy2000, first, thank you for positive reaction. Canopy seam has been removed without issue. In addition, this element was still soaked with the AK Gauzy Agent. Too bad it is not possible to build with an open cockpit, because the details are very good. I was building this model for the second time so I knew what the problems were. I think the paint FS36118 from AK RC looks very good.

That Gauzy Agent stuff looks good for canopies, keep meaning to get some. Cheers Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
