replicant Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Hello Modellers, Very old build, brand new pictures... This Bitburg Eagle was one of my favourites at airshow Erding 1978. I made a lot of pictures. W/O 1992. 0071 (128th FS, 116th FW, Georgia ANG) collided with 75-0075 over eastern Tennessee Jan 15, 1992. 0071 Pilot bailed out. 0075 landed safely. I built this kitbash 1978/1979. Unit Badge is handpainted. Has some signs of ageing now. Cheers Tom 24 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Way Out Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Hi Tom, A nice clean Eagle, can't believe you made this model in 78/79, the paintwork looks so fresh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Thank you all! @ steve: Yes the old ones looked so good.... @ Alex: 120.000 plus were there and the DM Museums-Draken in her original colors too. Good old times....

Hopesdaddy Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Wonderful classic build, looks to be in great condition for such an elderly kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
replicant Posted June 18, 2023 Author Share Posted June 18, 2023 Thanks! Humbrol and Revell enamel are going strong.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantherhawk27263 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Wow!! That is amazing!! It has endured the years amazingly well. I still have a Monogram Strike Eagle in my stash and this gives me hope as to how good it can look despite it's age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The F-15A Kit had old unclipped wings as had Hasegawa. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dyck Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Very nice build! These were the good old times were the word „weathering „ was a foreign word for us. We were glad when it turns out like yours. Clean and flawless! Good to see this one as a part of model history. Cheers Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
