tomthounaojam Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Hello Guys, The kit is a generic Hasegawa kit, which is no problem in the building except for some minor parts which require little filling and sanding. But what strikes me or what is conspicuous is the marking when I saw this aircraft 2 years ago I wish someone did it and Hasegawa came out and I just bought it. Yeah, the decals were just awesome and blown me away. So here it is my favorite aircraft in my collections. The F-15J Eagle `305SQ 40th Anniversary' special markings. Cheers Edited July 21, 2021 by tomthounaojam 50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Seeing those has made me grin out loud! Beautiful, beautiful work. Two little jewels and the contrast between the two schemes is dazzling. I saved one of your photos in a new folder called 'Fab models to emulate', I hope you don't mind.

Paintychops Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Spectacular job! I can imagine those decals could have been a nightmare but you pulled it off perfectly. As Bertie above just said, something to emulate! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed it was quite tough working with those decals I made a small video will share here once I done editing it. Appreciate the kind words, cheers. 4 hours ago, arfa1983 said: Soooo good!

kapam Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 Wow! Confidence and precision in the application of decals are qualities you clearly possess in spades! Definitely gold standard for complex marking schemes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark4700 Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 That looks awesome. I know you said the decals were good, but still, applying them must have been tricky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Best scheme an F-15 ever wore perhaps & shown to advantage with some magical modelling. Nicely done Tom. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modelling Padre Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 It just looks so right and to get the decals to sit so well means you are a decal sensei. Amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hehe, it wasn't that easy when you don't have decals softner it is just vinegar and lots of patient as I can do quickly as I have to see how the vinegar react and register the decals. Lots of on the edges time. Glad I didn't had a hammer with me. Thank you for the kind words On 7/23/2021 at 1:05 AM, Vultures1 said: Wow, spectacular Eagle!

It sure was, and as I stated before it was a daunting task took a day and half to complete it Thank you so very much. On 7/23/2021 at 11:11 AM, Flyingdutchman said: Bravo on the decals 👏🏻.
