    Hi coops, welcome onboard too!! The best places for references are sites like this, there's so much knowledge here you just ask or it's even brought to your attention, but it's always helpful. I'm not an expert on planes so if you're like me and not sure just ask I'm never embarrassed to ask!! I don't know what your skill level is but Tamiya's F-15C is a great build, really fits well together and I really enjoyed building it. Look forward to seeing your work. Cheers Jer

    Cheers Bruce for compliment. In the end I used the kit wheels as I had already spent time thinning and rounding the rubber. Hopefully your upgraded set will be ready for my next Eagle and I won't have to spend ages sanding! Cheers Jer

    Been working on the Hasegawa AIM-120s and the superb Zactomodels AIM9Xs All Painted up. Main body shafts painted in FS36375 Light Ghost Grey. AIM-120s have had their fins painted in Alclad Brunt Iron instead of black. AIM-9Xs have Alclad Magnesium painted fins, polished aluminium tip and stainless steel behind the front fins. Having looked on the web I saw so many different paint jobs and finishes for both, especially the 9X so it took a while to decide on the finish!!! Anyway it's my representation. Apart from a bit of pre shading I haven't done anything else to them but thought you guys might like to see more progress. Cheers

    Been back in the paint shop for the second colour to be added FS 36270 Kept peeling off the formation light frames with the blu tac which was really annoying as I had to reattach and respray twice! Also the rear formation lights based on Eduards destructions were around a different way when compared to my reference photo. Off they came too! That was annoying......but there seems to actually be more than one setup anyway so be careful. Cheers

    Cheers Mark, GT's exhausts are a great enhancement to the kit same goes for the fuel tank. Feels great to finally start painting still a way to go though.

    First visit to the paint shop........... FS36251 light grey (Lifecolor). Forgot to paint fuel tank and central pylon after cleaning air gun!! Oh well I need to complete the first part as I had the intake up and forgot painting them when they're down hence the tape markers! Cheers

    Quality build! Glad to to see you're restarting.

    Here are the exhaust nozzles painted up. Think I may add more white to represent the White ceramic finish better. I'll grub them up later to make them look more realistic (I hope). Here's the bird pre shaded, I have the tendency to paint heavy so most of the will disappear!!! Unfortunately I had masked the Alclad spray job I did before taking the photos!!!!.....but it came up ok so for the moment you'll have to take my word for it!! Starting to prep camo mask prior to spraying. AIM-9X's etc pre-shaded too.... Hoping to dip her in paint over the weekend..... Cheers

    Cheers maru5137 for the comments. GT resins parts are great and have nicely enhanced the kit. I'll update with some latest pictures after work. Jer

    Hi showtime, the push rods were kit parts.I believe the kit exhausts are too long. Cheers Jer

    Great start Tim. I love these types of builds so will watch with interest!
  22. Jer
    What a good build! Enjoyed catching up with what you've done and those decals are awesome!

    Made a start on the GT Resin exhausts. First off I shortened the push rods. URL=http://s1380.photobucket.com/user/Mungo/media/F15C%201-32/image.jpg1_zpsncxgkbi0.jpg.html][/url] Then I shaped each cut end to fit..... Then I repeated multiple times.... Just got to do the other one now!
