Greetings,
This is my second submission and for the subject I have chosen to model Revell's
F-15E. I really wanted to do a modern weapons load, so I chose to model
the 12th AF Commanders aircraft circa 2008. I really enjoyed building this
kit. The model is really good. I feel like the cockpit has great
detail. The panel lines are all crisp and clean. There were a few
spots that required some sanding, mainly around the nose, wing roots and the
space in between the trailing edges of the wings and the leading edges of the
tail planes. The rest feel together.
Painting
was done with Model Master and Tamyia acrylics with a few exceptions. The
burner cans and the metal areas surrounding them were painted with Testors
Metalizer Aluminum decanted and sprayed through my airbrush, the flat coat is
Testors dull coat from the spray can. I washed the model with artists
acrylics using a combination of the colors Nutmeg and Dark Grey.

The Decals came from
Afterburner Decals and I must say they were fantastic. I had no
problems with them and there were all in prefect register. The JADAM,
Laser Guided Bombs, and the Targeting Pods all game from the Hasagawa
Weapon Set D and the AIM-9X and AIM-120 missiles came from Revell's F/A-18E
kit. Overall it was a great kit and I learned much from building it.
Thank you for
looking and thanks to Steve for providing his services and maintaining this
great website.
