Who am I kidding? I typically don't finish, but I pulled this one off!

1/72 Airfix F-15E "Valkyrie"; some seriously poor pictures!

Hasegawa F-15E 1/48 scale

So here is my first ever F-15 model done as an F-15E from RAF Lakenheath in deference to all the great airshows over the years.

 

F-15E 00-3004 "Bullseye" from the 494th Fighter Squadron, RAF Lakenheath 2018

 

The Aries burner cans and seats

Weapons from Hasegawa weapons sets C and D

Decals from Caracal

 

This kit seems to depict an early E or the prototype with pylons on the slipped tanks which are very different from the actual production machines. The pylons on this model were either made from plastic card (main pylons under the engines)  or from the spares box (for the 6 smaller ones). The air scoop under the wings also came from the spares box.

 

 

 

 

 

 

'Bullseye' is of course 'Woody's' horse.

A bit of a leap from half done a few weeks ago to completed.

My first F-15 kit completed. Chose this 494th yellow tailed example as this is the one that I never snapped through the lens at Lakenheath.

I don't know if it's true but story goes that whoever decided on the tail colous made a mistake where the 494th should have been red, the 493rd F-15C should have been yellow & the 492nd should have been blue instead of red. Not sure what the truth was.

Aires 1/72 jet nozzles, all else out of the box.

Paints.. Ammo Mig & Vallejo Metal Color.

My short build thread before I got carried away with painting & finishing it.

And at the last minute I added a few extra bits.

Thanks for looking.

Hi All

 

Despite starting 2 months later than planned, and only leaving myself a month, I've finished my first GB entry here - the GWH 1/48 F-15C depicting the special scheme jet to commemorate 45 years of F-15A/B/C/Ds in Europe and the end of the Grim Reapers flying F-15s. I used the recent Twobobs decals for the markings, Quinta cockpit decals, Eduard wheels and masks, and LD models 3d printed ladder and modified QMT resin intake covers, and various MRP and Tamiya paints.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cheers,
