Scotsman Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Here are some of my pics of my F-15E - Bunker buster kit, CE intakes/Tailfeathers , TwoBob's decals The wheels are't really on crooked - optical illusion! And yup I know I've got an aiM-120 on the wrong side of the pylon - its being attended to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancman Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Very nice and is that a 43sq phantom lurking behind Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted May 5, 2005 Author Share Posted May 5, 2005 Good eye's there ..... The last pic was taken 2 weekends ago at the Scottish Nationals in Perth , the Phantom is one of a series our club's resident Rhino Fan has turned out over a period - unfortunatly all in 72nd I dread the time he move's up to a serious scale! acually he loves F-4's to such an extent that he'll never work larger than 72nd , since he's working on modelling all 5192 F-4's ....or that's how it seems to us!

Lancman Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 I couldn't make the nationals this year as the prospect of fighting my way across the Forth Bridge with all the disruptions and 2 kids in the car were just not worth it, but there is always next year .

smithery Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Looks great Scotsman! How did you go about getting the faded panel effect? I'd like to try this on my own build to break up all that monotone Gunship Grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted May 6, 2005 Author Share Posted May 6, 2005 How long have you got.... Lots of problems with this paint job, Xrtracolour enamles, decals, and then a sludge wash, so far so good, then polyscale flatt, - too strong, and my carefully prepared panel lines ended up white , gounge out the white sludge, re-varnish - simliar effect - repeat the process 3 times.....AARGH In between there was some pastels used round the various hinge points for the wing control surfaces- and that helped break up the finish Anyway finally got the panel lines sorted , but with smudges everywhere - so out with the airbrush again, and the smudges were touched up , Final flat coat - voila! The patchy effect in reality isn't that visible to the naked eye - its an artifact of the differential reflection from the mutiple coats , I'm pretty certain that pre shading a finish of Gunship Grey is a non starter, better to work with post shading/pastels/touch ups as it happens in reality I think in my heart of hearts that the finish is a touch overweathered for a 4th FW Beagle, all the pics I've seen of them seem to show them as pretty well imaculate , that being said I have pics of the 48tth FW birds up here in the highhlands jinking through the valleys showing them pretty well stained , and worn -as usual - you pays your money ........and makes your choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcauchi Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Great job scotsman!!! Really well done. Your finish is fantastic and the weathering and paint fading really nice. Could do with some close ups of cockpit and engine if you please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Mike Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 you have brought out the weathering of the paint very well. How do you store this monster? Or does your wife dust it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Its sstored in the loft , (attic), it shares it with 32 nd F-4E, F-4J, Su-27, f-105G, F4u-4, MiG-21PF, F-4S, etc, etc etc... Its a BIG loft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Very, very nice. I hope my own partially completed Revell F-15C Eagle comes out half as well as yours has! I am trying to find some decent decals for it (I do not like the kit ones at all). Cheers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Two Bob's Eglin gorilla's is a rather attractive scheme :- I spent 5 months last year jobless - the good news was lots of modelling was done ........ Oh BTW its the Tamiya model, straight from the box, with the addition of Aim-120's from the Academy F-18,, along with the appropriate launch rails Oh and yup some of Albert's F-4 are in background - the 41 SQ one is rather nice!
