FRO Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Hello modellers, i finally finished this bird. The kit ist the Great Wall Hobby F-15E with Aires ACES II ejection seats and PJ production pilots. Further addons used are an Eduard Sniper ATP, AIM-120 training missile and a modified ACMI pod from Hasegawa. But the real highlight is the awesome DXM decal sheet, it isn't perfect but very very good. Let's start the show: 01 by Falk Röllig, auf Flickr 02 by Falk Röllig, auf Flickr 04 by Falk Röllig, auf Flickr 17 by Falk Röllig, auf Flickr 18 by Falk Röllig, auf Flickr 19 by Falk Röllig, auf Flickr 21 by Falk Röllig, auf Flickr 26 by Falk Röllig, auf Flickr complete gallery: https://www.flickr.com/gp/193226342@N06/33h20p Hope you can enjoy this "little" gallery like i enjoyd this build.

RupertTheBear Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Superb! And although it is still grey like 90% of all Eagles this livery looks amazing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackman Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Not only is it a great model, you also made a great inflight stand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 The model is among the most impressive I've seen here at Britmodeler.com. Where did you find the clear acrylic rods and did you have them bent for you or did you do that yourself? If you did it, I'd be most pleased to learn how you did it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vultures1 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Wow, that is really excellent work - well done! Great markings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRO Posted June 10, 2021 Author Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Thank you for the likes and comments, much appreciate. @SAT69 These are 6mm acrylic rods. You can find them f.e. on ebay, amazon... I bought mine from amazon and cut them with a fine saw (same for resin) to 25cm each. To bend, you need some heat from hairdryer, hot water or something like this. I heat them with an oven to 160°-180° celsius and bend both around a cup to the same shape. The rods are not fixed yet, so you can simply change the position and angle of the jet. ps: sorry for the bad english grammar Edited June 10, 2021 by FRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Awesome F-15! The decal scheme looks rather scary in the execution, but you nailed it superbly! The result is stunning! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paintychops Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Nice! Funny enough I've recently brought the decals for this in 1/48 scale, also for the GWH kit. If mine comes out as half as good as yours I'll be happy. Top work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DXM instructions aren't 100% correct compared to the real plane. I recognized this to late, my fault. The "wings" must be closer to the center and some stencils are different or missing. So be careful and check your references if you want it "perfect". @all Thanks again for your nice comments. Edited June 11, 2021 by FRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electric Indigo Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Nice to see an in-flight build, and great job on that scheme! The crew seems to have run into an argument...😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
