F`s are my favs Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Slowly slowly... So the situation with the DN models` masks - apply, paint, remove, repeat.... ...While the Eduard`s PE masks - something way more different.... I cut the needed plate, then i rounded/sanded its edges to avoid scratching the surfaces: Then the attachment is very tricky, the proper alignment more exactly: After using 1 plate for the two intakes (6 application in total), the paint really started building up on the pe plate. So some cleaning is mandatory as well. The paint dissolves very easily. And the same plate is ready for further applications.

gerarddu Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hi Thank you guys very much. U tempted me to take some more pics. It`s nighttime, the quality is not that good, but it`s juicy, juicy. It is right now in its shiniest mod perhaps - after a thorough rub with a polishing compound, prepped for decals. wow, it looks so realï¼ F`s are my favs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 I know i know ))) Some in-depth 3D sceneries. Let me take some more with the freshly applied wing and sqn decals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 Still quite a great amount of decals on the list... Durangokid and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 btw. although not the greatest quality, in this pic here can be seen justly the artificial light reflected by the Alclad (and penetrating through the "transparent" paint). This is all over the model and can be seen only at sertain settings. Durangokid and Anthony in NZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel111 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 The masked stencils and stars and bars look great, somehow much better than decals. Cheers, Marcel A-10LOADER and F`s are my favs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Hi F's, Beautiful work on your F-15 and an unbelievable amount of work you're putting into it. As you've strived so hard to get so much right, I hope it's not too nit-picking to point out that those numbers in front of that intake overflow door are actually the aircraft serial number, for the tanker crews' 'account book'. For a Lakenheath 492nd FS bird in their adopted style, yours would read 91308. (Some other units would use the last FY number with the four digit serial) Then the attachment is very tricky, the proper alignment more exactly: Edited September 7, 2017 by Chek A-10LOADER and F`s are my favs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F`s are my favs Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 ... yep, i kinda underestimated the meaning of these numbers. Just tried to replicate the easiest numbers of this size out of paper tape. Now i know what they mean. I`ll try to figure them out, correctly !

F`s are my favs Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 The numbers are edited. I used the tail codes of a 1/72 model, slightly rearranged of course. Chek and A-10LOADER 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
