pollie Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Speaking of which, do you have a belly shot of F-15DJ 096 with the turquoise-green camo? Gary, This is not the best shot I've ever made but maybe it does the trick. It is very recent (last month). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gary F Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Pollie, Thank you! my favorite aggressor. If I can get it done, that will be the other build for this GB. regards, Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paolo Maglio Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 (edited) Hi Gary, My solution is to open 2 new holes just 8mm furtherback of the Hasegawa ones, fill the front hole with plastic rod and sand, re-spry the part. The second Hasegawa hole will be covered by the pylon itself. About the photos you asked for will check my PC tomorrow for you, please mind that I also have the Model Art book on aggressors so if you need any detail just PM me.

Gary F Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 Hi Paolo, Thanks for posting those pics of 096, especially the belly shot. With that and Pollie's pic, I should be able to get the pattern down for 096. I usually like the blue and gray schemes, but this particular green looks very nice. Also, I should be getting a copy of that JASDF aggressor book soon ... someone put up a link to a shop with it and I ordered it earlier this week It sounds like it will be a good one and lots of help to do some more F-15DJ's this year. thanks again, Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

speedlimit Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Very nice Paolo!!! BTW, what JASDF Aggressor book would you recommend to get when it comes to nice pictures for reference, good deal of information and different images of JASDF Aggressors, specially when it comes to F-15J/DJ? Cheers, Eric Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gary F Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Paolo, Glad to see your F-2 finished ... looks great! A small detail, but the shoulder patches are a nice touch ... real nice. Nozzle looks really good, too. Pictures saved to help me with my F-2. regards, Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pollie Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Nice F-2! :) Glad you got the problem with the centerline tank fixed. Seeing that jet reminds me of beautiful Matsushima airbase....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lucio P. Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Hi Paolo, another great model! P.s.manca solo una cosa...un bel fondo bagnato suggestivo come quello del tuo phantom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paolo Maglio Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 (edited) Wonder why I called this project the most easy conversion ever? Well, just because I just changed the decals!!! On the back of the kit you can see the original box art now ready to recicling. Now I have another deadly duo inmy collection buy my JASDF window cupboard is pretty full now!

Riö Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) Paolo, Thanks for sharing your hard work with us. My two F-2s (50th Anniversary) are between Japan and the USA. All your hard work will help me make my build a lot eaiser. I also ordered the Japanese Aggressors book, a MUST for Aggrssors lovers. :D Muchas Gracias. Also, does Edward make photo etch for this kit (F-2) and the F-1? Thanks for your help, and as always, beautiful work!!! :) Riö<*> Semper Fi!

Paolo Maglio Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Rio, thank you for your kind words. Eduard made vedy good PE set for both F-1 and F-2A and evenfor T-2 and F-2B. Just search on their site. The bang seat for the F-2 in the Hasegawa kit is very good, if you add PE details to it you will not need to replace it. The seat for the F-1 is made by ACONUAGA in resin and is sold only by Louis Santos in Florida. He also sells a PE set for the F-1 but it is for the Fujimi kit only and not up to Eduard quality.
