Harrison90 Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) FINALLY finished all the bomb racks. Took longer than I thought but I am rather pleased with the result, especially as a lot of it will be difficult to see if possible to see at all. Plus, I got the wings on. Its coming together... slowly. Cheers Edited June 22, 2015 by Harrison90 Whitey and ClumsyDude 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClumsyDude Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Just WOW - super attention to detail!!! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison90 Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 I am wanting to add some more visual interest to this plane, and am thinking of painting one of its pylons a navy grey or something as if it needed to be replaced or repaired. I hate super clean anything. It just doesn't feel as real to me, personally. Even though I know that this particular F-15 was probably very clean and tidy all the time. What do you guys think? Any other ideas to add some more interest to what would be an otherwise pretty clean jet? Thanks Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delayar Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 That looks really great so far! I dont have any idea how to dirty it up, since it was just a demonstration aircraft. Markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus That's the problem I'm having. I like the weather beaten and battle hardened look. This is just going to be to clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison90 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 Not a great update here but there are a couple bombs to get through while I sand and fill and prime the rest of Eagle. And some really crummy news, while I was trying to remove the canopy seem line, the very old brittle plastic showed its true colours. Not sure how to fix this one, not without some sort of evidence of the crack. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee White Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 If you are going to build it with the canopy open, you can vacuform or plunge mold a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delayar Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 It looks fantastic so far. The canopy thing is a pitty, though. Maybe you could get a replacement from Revell. (service@revell.de) They want kit number and parts number. I know it is an old kit, but there have been numerous re-releases, so maybe you want to look up the kit number of a newer release.

Harrison90 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 I have talked to Revell and a new canopy is on its way. Unfortunately it will take 4-5 weeks! But whatever its needed and free. In the meantime I am just about to finish up the sanding and filling and then finally start giving it some colour. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Harrison, give me your mailing address and I can send you a canopy if you will just send me the one Revell sends you when you get it. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison90 Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Sorry for the long pause here. Just been filing and sanding and priming and filing and sanding, etc. Have managed to get some colour on this girl and a bit of fiddling with the canopies interior framing. The rear view mirrors: Cheers! andromeda673 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Looks great!! I love the details on the canopy......they really add to it. The pre-shading is a bit too stark for me under the green, but that takes nothing away from a terrific build. Looking forward to more paint!
