stusbke Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Hi guys got back from a nice summer holiday, getting back in gear so to speak and ready for the next one..... One 32nd scale Tamiya F15C. The new Eagle decals from Reid Air Publications...thanx for the help...missiles from zactomodels AIM9-L and AIM9-X, exhaust set from Two Mikes and for the pit a Black Box cockpit along with a Wolfpack resin MSIP update set and I got a PWMP modelling products fod cover set should the intakes turn akward on me...yeah baby.... I'm going for the splinter aggressor....always loved the scheme..... depending on the time frame I got this bird loaded up with one grey and one Blue fuel tank and also a mixed load up in missile rails as well...I'll have to look in to that a bit further as It certainly makes it more interesting to have contrasting things going on.....adding even more colour to this already colourful livery.. till next update Cheers Frederick Jacobs Edited July 21, 2016 by stusbke Vandy 1 VX 4, F`s are my favs, Out2gtcha and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_K2 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 This should be wonderful. Living in St Louis, I've grown rather fond of seeing the Eagles around here for years. Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F`s are my favs Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Niiiice, one more Eagle in the nest, goood, i`ll follow this with interest! The camo kinda reminds me of the Chuck`s F-15 and, honestly, i didn`t knew before for eagles with that type of camouflages. It sounds like an Arctic or a cold camo. Very interesting and looks not bad on the Eagle. I have one F-15C but in 1/48, with the typical grey camo. Happy building and modeling, and more photos!! PS: I checked out your theme with the Prowler... and it looks gut. Edited July 21, 2016 by F`s are my favs stusbke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaced Marine Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Nice. That decal sheet is tempting me to get a 1/32 F-15C. I know I can use the Seymour Johnson decals on my 1/32 Strike Eagle too. I'll keep my eyes on this one. stusbke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stusbke Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) hi guys moving along fine and steady with this one, great kit....Anyway got the resin bits in there today still needs tons of work but I managed to get it in there smoothly no pressure needed just need to check for alignment with the canopy and add some detail here and there then I can start priming the pit....can't wait to start painting it up and per BuNo the avionix bay is the mettallic green colour so definitely looking forward to that.....I used the wolfpack IP for the jet is MSIP...and I plan on adding my own seat as the BB one is IMHO not up to snuffgoing for a cutting edge one and adding F15 specific parts from kit parts and left overs from the BB seat...seat belts I plan on making with putty far easier to handle then PE and less hassle in the end.....more on that later.....already cut off the horns from the kits seat and adding the canopy breaker in pieces....the rails are in the works as well hope to get that done by tomorrow....Canopy got some TLC as well already added the hook thingy not going to replace the ribs going to try and cheat my way out of it and hopefully it will work time will tell loads to add on here though hooks and what not loads going on on this part but there are only a few area's where one can show just how complicated modern jets are and canopy rails and cockpits are one of the few area to do so....I already filled in some of the panel lines still need to add the GPS panel and the dome itself and also make the APU exhaust grill.speaking of grills I opened up the gun compartment grills and added few gizmo's on to the gun. planning on letting one gun panel open for interest just wondering if the gun bay colour would be metallic as well or white??then lastly the exhausts, these where like I said earlier the now OOP Two mikes resin items and they look great, and fit excellent as well. only down side is that the rods that are in the set are tool long...so I opted for the kit ones and altered them to fit the resin parts...I'm going to remove the little rods and get them doubled up....All for nowhope to have more laterCheers guys Edited July 22, 2016 by stusbke Marcel111, F`s are my favs and A-10LOADER 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stusbke Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share Posted July 23, 2016 Bay 5 on that aircfrsft is white You have a picture to proof this. Was thinking the same but any jet build before 1980 had green bays according to my ref jakes book..as this is kinda a big difference I'd like to have some proof of that statement...

Cheers Fred Welcome to the Big Eagle Group Build! It looks like you are well on your way, so I'll be checking for your updates as I SLOWLY build mine. You are right about Bay 5 being green. 78-494 is definitely before 1980, but the odd one was re-painted white later during maintenance. I would stick with green to be safe. Cheers, Chuck stusbke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stusbke Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 while the debate is still on the bay5 colour....mind is definitely leaning towards green....haven't seen any pictures showing otherwise.....I spend the most of the day trying out something new here..... Learned a few tricks and I'm now sure I can tackle a few problems I'm going to encounter with the prowler so I'm stoked to say the least... I blame Serge Seanen for this one but I like to open up the odd panel and to be honest crew chiefs always have this one opened up before take off so I was eager to get this one done..I'm talking about the comm door and panel that pulls out it holds tons of detail but it really add the little extra IMHO... on to the pictures, that's a standard scalpel blade holder in the pictures to give idea of the size.... installed on the model pretty stoked just looked seems I knocked off the two knobs on the top right hand side easy fix, still need to add the wire bundle but doing that when I'm working on the seat belts later on...
