Thanks Kursad, I just finished my F-15EX and have to tell you your decals are excellent to work with. Really looking forward to getting the markings on this one too! Keep up the great work…..really looking forward to purchasing your F-22 sheets as soon as they are available!

Best paint I’ve ever worked with, and this is only my second build using them!

Small update on the F-15 STOL/MTD….I was a little worried about getting the colors right on this aircraft. I just recently switched my choice of paints from Model Master enamels to MRP. So I did some preliminary painting on the forward canard and horizontal stab to check the colors……very happy at this point on how it turned out! MRP 004 is the base white, MRP 041 is the red and MRP 384 is the blue. On the blue, I didn’t think that the blue was dark enough out of the bottle so I darkened it with some MRP black and I think it’s dead on to my eye! Thanks for looking…..more to follow!

Thank you Sir! I wasn’t aware that they used F/A-18 canards until I got the conversion set in my hands!

Thanks Stephen!

My next project is converting a Hasagawa F-15E to an F-15 STOL/MTD using the BAM Models conversion set. I will also be stuffing an Aries F-15E cockpit into this model. Also using Caracal decals, PlusModels boarding ladder, Quickboost ACES II seats and North Star Models wheels. This is where I’m currently at….fuselage is all buttoned up. Forward canard shoulders and actuators are in place, as are the fairings to place the 2D nozzles-going from a round hole to a square hole!

Quinta……hands down! -
The exhaust nozzles definitely need to be updated……highly recommend the KA nozzles! They’re excellent!

I used the GWH F-15E as the basis for the conversion to EX 001. I used the BAM Models conversion set and their EX wheel set, Caracal decals set for the EX, with several decals made by me to portray the jet in its current state. PlusModel boarding ladder, Brassen AIM-120’s and Upwind landing gear! Thanks for looking!

The GWH F-15E conversion to the new F-15EX is done……I will post more images in The Display Case! Thanks for looking!

Hey Matt, A total of 12 AIM-120’s-4 on each wing, inner and outer pylons and two on each CFT lower stations! I thought I was going to go blind putting decals on those things!

Thanks Steve!

Thanks Arnaud, couldn’t have happened without your excellent conversion set!

The EX Project is done! Here are a few teaser pictures! I’ll post a full set of images in the Display Case as soon as I find my background! Thanks for looking and all of the feedback, I appreciate it! Brad

Starting to add some of the -21 equipment on the EX. Using the Eduard Space 3D RBF flags for this build, and they are working very well so far! Also did some “Heat staining” around the JFS. Should start to button up the kit next week! Thanks for looking Brad

Thanks Steve, and I’m with you on the exhaust nozzles…….I’m to use to seeing PW’s back there!
