Go Big - 1/32 Revell F-15D - 32nd TFS Soesterberg

[alt-92]

What am I getting myself into...
 

See, I've had this box resting in the attic for quite a while, and really need to take the bull by the horns and build it.

 

 

Bought in somewhere around 1987/88ish..  at one time I believe the B/D/E-demonstrator got added as well. 

 

So, some late 80ies kit archeology then. 

I doubt these will be of any use - all yellowed. Maybe I can save the stenciling as that Bicentennial scheme is not what I have in mind.

 

Whahey, look at that! two kits! I did start some parts as a teenager, but not too much. The grey plastic looks to be the more likely candidate. 

 

Not the tailpipes I remember from standing near the runway at Soesterberg. 

Reskit replacements are on the way (intended for the Tamiya kit but I will make them fit  )

 

 

A smattering of loose parts..

 

But the real reason I bought the B/D/E kit is this:

 

And 18 year old me spent quite some time painstakingly replicating the cockpit pictures from several books. 
Fully intend to keep that as-is (minus the dust) and re-use that! I'd be hard pressed to do better these days anyway.

 

 

It's going to be a bumpy ride!
