Pete Fleischmann Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share Posted August 3, 2023 Often when I see this kit built, the builder leaves these seams open- I looked at a lot of photos to confirm that this is all one piece with no visible seam… I think I’m correct (?) Anyway- I certainly took some liberties elsewhere! P LSP_Kevin, Landrotten Highlander, scvrobeson and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geedubelyer Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Great job Pete. You've disguised the discrepency in length of the Aires tub to perfection. Thanks for showing how it can be achieved. I've taken notes. Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Guy- the “Eagle”-eyed folks will notice that the distance from the rear bulkhead of bay 5 to the oval opening on the rear deck is too long…but it is what it is…that’s modeling! cheers P geedubelyer and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zola25 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 For an "F-16 guy" you are making this F-15 cockpit look spectacular - very impressive I am certainly also taking a lot of notes - I will be making an F-15DJ Aggressor from a Tamiya F-15C rear end put behind a modified Tamiya F-15E front end. I am planning to build an F-15 Baz from the leftover parts. This build is like hitting a modelling gold mine /Niels Pete Fleischmann and Derek B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-16 guys love to make fun of the Eagle drivers. (It all started with Kadena ) I admire the IAF for how they employ their Eagles- basically flying them like F-16’s. Might not be able to resist hanging a few bombs on this one..which would be sacrilege for a USAF F-15A/C cheers P Dadeo911, easixpedro, Dope737 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between you and Peter Castle, I'm giving us Peters a bad name. Edited August 3, 2023 by easixpedro See what I did there.

I know you can relate to this- every cockpit has a “smell” The T-37 smelled like vomit The T-38 smelled like sweat The AT-38B smelled like fear, sarcasm and ridicule The F-16 smelled like victory If I can evoke a cockpits “smell” in my work; then I feel like I’ve made my contribution to modeling.

geedubelyer Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Does awesomeness have a smell because if it does your F-15 cockpit smells like awesomeness. Pete Fleischmann and Zola25 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
