Natter Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 This was one of three kits that came with an Airfix aircraft 'Mystery Bundle' in January 2022 and was supposed to be a quick interlude while building the Matchbox Wellesley; but it isn't an easy kit in terms of parts fit and needs plenty of filling and sanding. It was always going to be wheels up and a base from Coastal Kits helped finish it off. Airfix replicated the port vertical stabiliser decal as the same as the stbd, which is incorrect. I found a photo after completion of the model showing the port vertical stabiliser scheme, and it is completely different from the stbd side: too late now. The main grey colours are from Mr Color and are airbrushed freehand. It's OK, but if you really want an F-15 in your display cabinet there are far better kits than this one. Well it's no longer languishing in its box in my loft, so that'll do for me. 33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
