Love it when YouTube brings videos to my attention. This one popped up today that I had not seen. Great combat footage of the A-1E and stories.
 
 
 

Hi guys how are you all?..Finnaly im back again...my daughter is almost 9 years old now, and i think is time to finish this work of mine...hope you like it! Enjoy!

I'm joining this GB with the Kinetic F-86F-30 and AM. Not pictured is a AMS cockpit set for this kit. Somehow I've mis-placed the instructions for the set, but I've reached out to BiggTim for an assist. I also have several AM decal options to chose from, but I haven't made a decision on what plane I want to do. 
 

 
Thanks for looking in.

It's finished!
 
The build thread is here
 
 

Hi all!
 
 
As this is a Jubilee-build and a long one, even I have a chance to get it over the finish line!
 
What better then building something from my hometown of Linköping, Sweden, where the SAAB J-29 Tunnan (Barrell) was built during the 50´s and 60´s.
 
I´ll use the FLY kit and some aftermarket, even tough there’s not much available.
 
 

 
 
I have the Maestro nose ring as the kit intake is more akin a MiG-15 then a Tunnan.
 
 

 
 
As my main reference I have this book by Mikel Forslund, signed by the author himself!
 
 

 
 
More to come soon!

Nice! I have one in the stash, too. Will be watching to see how it is done...

This was one of my options too, It´s a nice kit and I will be following your build!

Great choice - The F-86 is one of the best looking jets of all for my money. I used to have a profile poster of the very airframe on the box art up in my bedroom as a kid and this one brought back memories of that!
 
Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out!
 
Kind regards,
Paul

Hello !
We made a second version of the same USAF F-16 pilot, but looking port side, downwards :

Cheers
Norbert

Here's the prospective loadout I am wanting to do.
 
 

Revell included the side intakes that go on the conformal tanks but didn't put them in the instructions huh???  So, as you can see from the previous pictures they are not there. Yo can see I added them in this photo.
 

 

 

Here she is coming together. landing gear on and the Gunship grey applied using Mr. Color C305. In the many photos I have looked at I noted one F-15E with a F-15C/D speed brake in place (probably a replacement?) so I decided to that on this bird. Seats still dry-fitted as I have to do some touch up work on them before gluing in place. Landing gear wheels are from Res-kit. Vent work started but not complete.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Hi guys, 
 
I am presently building Revell's F-15e Strike Eagle. It's a big aircraft. As big as some WW2 1/32 aircraft. 
 
At any rate here some progress shots.
 
Cockpit work. the Aces II ejection seats are from DEF Model. I am also using the Quinta IP set for the Revell kit. The Seats are just dry fitted so lean against their respective bulkheads I will move them forward when I glue them in place. The parachute packs are normally black in colour AFAIK,  but I have seen some in OD so did one in that colour to give some visual interest. Also, on some photos the ejection rails are black on top then about half way down are the colour of the interior of the aircraft. I left them in all black.
 

 

 
 

 

 

and another night after. just a little putty and sanding needed. scribing will be easier now
