David Mooney Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Hello all, this is my effort to do a Lakenheath F-15C from the Tamiya kit. I choose to do 84-0027 as it had an odd 'camo splat' on the horizontal stabilisers and it had quite a hard edged camouflage, the F-15C's seem to have a mix of soft-edged and hard-edged schemes. So to do this scheme i made my own mask set for it, which made it a lot easier. The add-ons to the basic kit were Red Fox Studios cockpit set, Reskit AMRAAM's and burner cans plus i used PK Productions 'BIG USAFE MOD EAGLES' decals.....all three are excellent products, plus my own masks DM Scale Models Camo and Canopy set. Hope you all like it, it was a nice build and turned out well i think. Tony T, Model_Monkey, Kagemusha and 39 others 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juggernut Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Very NIce! I have the 1/48 GWH kit of the F-15C and hope it turns out half as good as yours. Martinnfb and David Mooney 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Fleischmann Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Looks great! the only critique I can offer is that the F-15 ACES II seat doesn’t use the center-pull handle- that is only on the F-16 and F-22. The Eagle uses dual side ejection handles. cheers P Edited May 28, 2023 by Pete Fleischmann David Mooney and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've added a couple of more pictures with it now on its base, this was intended to be done ready when the aircraft was completed for the demonstration pics for my masking sets, but things got in the way. themongoose, Loach Driver and Tony T 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
