David Mooney Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Hello all, hope everyone is well. This is my F-15E by Tamiya, its a nice kit to build....well its Tamiya isnt it The Cockpit got the Red Fox Studio upgrade, plus i added the Reskit (RSU32-0030) kit to upgrade the rear burners. Painted mainly with MRP 040 for the gunship and some low-high lights with other various greys. Thought i'd go for a Desert Storm #6 load out of 4xAIM-9L's 4xGBU-10's and fuel tanks. Hope you all like it.... All comments welcome sandokan, Landrotten Highlander, Dandiego and 32 others 34 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geedubelyer Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 You must be very happy with this model, it's splendid. That first photo in natural light is particularly convincing. Nice job David Mooney and Pete Fleischmann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircommando130 Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 That's a beautiful Striker! Those burner cans are awesome as is the cockpit. I remember seeing them "brand new" in the desert during Desert Shield. They didn't have enough LANTIRN pods to go around and some were sporting C model fuel tanks and I think I saw one with a C model radome later as well. Great job! Cheers...Ron David Mooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers...Ron Thanks for you comments and service Ron, what i've always wondered about the 'E' is the commonality of parts with the 'C'. I guess there maybe quite a few non structural fairings and panels that can be swapped out, but i wonder how far that goes......hmmmm 13 hours ago, MARU5137 said: Hello David, Your F-15 E definitely the BEST One I have seen and she looks mighty IMPRESSIVE! { Great Job Actually}.

Rod They do seem to always make the model look better for some reason, maybe it gives it a bit of realism. Thanks for your kind words Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
