chuck540z3 Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Excellent work Milan! One small suggestion if I may. F-15E's are usually kept quite clean, so be careful with the salt weathering. I have photographed many Strike Eagles at Nellis AFB and I am always amazed at how unblemished they look in person. I'm sure they looked good and dirty in Iraq, but that's real dirt and not faded and weathered paint like a Navy jet. Just my $.02 Cheers, Chuck F`s are my favs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 (edited) Actually i`m still quite doubting of whether to use 1) salt weathering or 2) OPs applied with a sponge, to get the same effect. The OPs will give a more subtle effect, while the "salt" will leave some gorgeous "3D imperfections" as well. Overall, that`s the bird that i will try to replicate: And also plan to make it even a little bit dirtier, with only some of the weathered areas of this plane: Edited August 27, 2017 by F`s are my favs A-10LOADER and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F`s are my favs Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Hi Thank you guys very much. U tempted me to take some more pics. It`s nighttime, the quality is not that good, but it`s juicy, juicy. It is right now in its shiniest mod perhaps - after a thorough rub with a polishing compound, prepped for decals. johncrow, Starfighter and A-10LOADER 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 The vert. stabilizers are done. Btw the decals (only for the Wing are decals here) blended quite justly. I`m unexpetedly happy... so far. Starfighter Jock, spyrosjzmichos, A-10LOADER and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero77 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Your nozzles look very accurate. Which one did you use? On my F-15E, i started to build the Flighpath set, and they look very good, but i'm a bit stuck for 2 years (almost a shelf of doom syndrom !) as they are too long, and i'm still hesitating to use them. But i spent so much time working on them and they are pricey, too. The problem is that i noticed the extra lenght too late (the feathers were already assembled).

F`s are my favs Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Hey Zero! The nozzles are the oob nozzles, but with a myriad of edits/improvements. Here is the explanation and some more pics of the steps can be found on 6/7 pages as well. Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
