Hi everyone, Did put a post in Aviation Discussion & Research about the MER used apparently for that demo, don't know if what Revell provide in this kit is a real representation of it.. https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/99869-a-particular-multiple-ejector-rack-info-needed/ I'd love to ad more deatail to it.. Dan.

Hi guys, I have this crazy project in Silver Jubelee GB going on.. And I just can't find any real picture anyware on the net nor my library about that MER.... Would like to ad more detail to it but not sure if Revell reference's where correct... Can you help. Dan.

Yeah, maybe I'll start another project, I'm ordering some goodies from Big Tim / BB for a Greek T-33... why not....

Yeap, I wish too And yes he's big, almost 8 inch. It took me almost 2 years to get my hand on that Ophir pod, long oop for my BAZ project.. Dan.

Yes Geedubelyer, they do and a lot easier to use the Revell kit instead of the Tamiya for that project, there's too many modification to end up to a close B, with the Tamiya F-15E And a perfect fit with the Tamiya F-15C... An option I was thinking for a BAZ project, using Revell CFT on a Tamiya C... For dry fit purposes....really gonna look meen... Oh boy, that Revell mold had better days... Intakes all done and in place. I Did used that little trick a learned from Zacto who did this on his F-16 intake. with household semi gloss latex paint, always a quick and an easy winner... The 0291 had no gun, I had to hide it along with all the vent. Wow, that was quick, should have news for those IP replacement from Bruce soon, Other wise will have to put that project on hold.. That's what I like about that Revell kit, no fancy and quick. Thanks for watching and have fun. Dan.

At first, I was planning for the pit to use what was in the kit... Found some parts for a real B, but they where modified, will continue with new replacement from Bruce for the Revell.. Hey, why not.. And until I hear from Bruce, I'll jump on something else, lots of Rockeye to paint... Stripes ready... Tadammm... Next, intake, pylons and MER...gonna use those from Tamiya, better detailed. Stiffening the ducts and puttying... More next week and thanks for watching.. Have fun, Dan.

In July 1983 was the first flight of McDonnell Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle, Multi-Role Fighter Bomber 71-0291, F-15B-4-MC, Converted from the second two-seat F-15B Eagle trainer, My starting point, a 1993 kit that was collecting dust for almost about the same period.. and left over Mk20 Rockeye from Tamiya Bought that magazine in '86, and always had a crush on that article but never find the time nor the guts to start the build.. Don't know yet if I'll go down with all the trouble to converte the cockpit to a B version or just use what's in the box, but one thing for sure is there are some real most needed modification that I'll do... There was no gun on the that demo version, and the seat used was the Escapac version... And going to use those early Corsair version with pilot from Aerobonus. See you soon with some progress, have fun and thanks for watching. Dan.

Kit 4755... Oh YES that's a GO...

Hi Kevin, Found that '93 revell F-15E kit in my stash and why not ''The prototype Strike Eagle, a modified F-15B-4-MC, 71-0291'' in '83 ...? Yeap, in Euro camo.... Also, while searching the kit data base, I notice that there was no kit picture, there you go.. Dan.

That's non sence, keep them coming,... I'm doing something similar and want to get all the info I can get before doing so.... Dan.

What a good timming... I'm actually in need for set of flap and exhaust and was wondering if still available.. Dan.

That was a quick and easy one, Fundekals went very well, not much stencils on those competition paint job.... The mud time.... All cleaned up and ready for final touch-up and some more weathering ... now back to my pilots. Hope you like it and have fun, Dan.

Hello guys, been a while.. My first resolution this year was to do my best not to start another kit and closing all those unfinish one(GB etc.), and since that one was the last in line on my doom shelf, I asked Kevin to move it here. Starting the paint job... The notice I based my color scheme where kind of wrong, had to interchange the two green..... But end up nicely, first time full job with Gunze paint, I love it. Time for cherry picking in those Fundekals sheet... Found the right color for their upper suit Painting figurines is realy not my cup of tea, but since I tend to use them more often in my models, I better start looking at tutorials... Still need some tuch up left and wash but will get there. A dence coat of clear was applied due to my last project..... dreaded silvering..... Everything was fine, the weathering, the wash, till the flat coat.... so, next step, DECALS..yeah.. Thks for watching and have fun. Dan.

Yeah, nice upgrade Tim... Dan.

Will send you one... Dan.
