Habu, Sorry but these are the only shots Ive taken.I will say that the quality of the parts is fairly good and the instuctions are outstanding.HTH Mark

I used the BlackBox pit and the Isracast conversion.The markings will be aircraft 503 of the Scorpion Squadron.

Smithery,The GPS domes provided by Cutting Edge are way too big check out this pic.HTH Mark http://www.af.mil/media/photodb/photos/041...F-9568C-049.JPG

The weapons are from Hasegawas set D.I plan on using the GBU-31 3/B BLU-109 from Shawn Hull when it is released.Thanks for looking..Mark

Thanks for the comments.The panels were done with pre and post shading the lines were then highlighted with pencil. The load out will be 4 LGBs and a GBU-31 on the centerline.Its nice to finish one, the positive atitudes and posts on this forum are a big help to me.Thanks to all!! Hers the nose art.... :lol: :lol: :lol:

Looks good! I have the 1/48th scale kit on deck and I am wondering what paints you used on your kit? TIA Mark

I dont know if ALL of the Mod Eagles have a hard edge demarcation look at this: http://www.af.mil/media/photodb/photos/030...F-0697K-005.jpg But,some appear to have a much harder edge look here: http://www.af.mil/media/photodb/photos/030...F-3408B-002.jpg HTH, Mark

Iwata all the way.It is the BMW of airbrushes.I could not beleive how easily I could spray fine lines with the Iwata compared to my VL. Mark

Heres what I got.Thanks Sprue Brothers!

Heres the latest.I added the GPS dome to the right of the speedbrake, spayed the model with Future and started applying the decals.All I have left is the small stencils.I am using links because I am having problems resizing the photos and keeping a decent image.Thanks for looking...Mark http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/xerox3/F-15ETop.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/xerox3/F-15E.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/xerox3/F-15Eleft.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/xerox3/F-15ENose.jpg

Kaan, I am a great fan of your models. I will be following this build closely. On the Blackbox Website Jeff is doing a step by step build on the Tamiya F-16 pit it should be fun to watch.Heres the link....Mark http://www.vmdstudios.com/Page3.html

Mike, Yes I had heard the sad news of Kens untimely death. I worked with Ken on the flightline at Wright-Patt in the 906th FG. MarkH

Mike, Did you know Kenny Stout.I think he was an F-16 crew chief at Edwards at this time.Nice build...Mark

I took some MM 36118 in a large jar and added 1/3 Testors glosscote and 25 drops of semi-gloss white and thinned the mix with Testors thinner.I sprayed this mix over the pre-shaded model.I then took a small amount from this large bottle and added 5 more drops of white and used this on the insides of some of the panels.I then used 36118 right from the bottle for the dark highlights.Once this drys I will highlight some of the panel lines with a mechanical pencil. Thanks for looking..Mark

I airbrushed the lighter color with Tamiya Flat alumininum then brush painted Tamiya Gunmetal on the darker areas.I then brush painted a thin coat of Dark grey artists gouache to highlight and give a flat finish that I had seen at an airshow.Thanks for looking..Mark
