mikeyc5usaf Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hey guys here's some pics of my F-15 that i finished this morning, pretty happy about it seeing as this is the first one I have ever completed. Anyways enjoy, I know its not accurate but it looks like an Eagle to me. Thanks for looking! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 If your first build in years is already this good, what can we expect of you in the future? I think you did a great build Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F-16rhs Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Your "Eagle" is awesome Mike!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Middleton Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Mike, that came out great, especially for the first one "finished"! I like the paint and weathering - great job on those. Some very subtle suggestions - it doesn't look like you painted the nav lights and small bumps on certain antennae. On the wing tip fronts are the small antenna bumps - the tips should be white. On the wing tips are the small nav lights just behind the antennae bumps - right is green, left is red Almost at the wing root on each wing, is a small rectangular shape - that should be deep red for a light. On the back, tops of the tails are the antennae bumps that should be white On the back, tops of the tails are the lights below the antennae bumps - right is red, left is clear (or silver) Also, do you have the forward, nose mounted pitots for each side? Again, subtle things, but you did an outstanding job on it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aggressor Supporter Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Always good to see the venerable Eagle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cr7driver Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) Great build. I love the paint and choice of markings. The only thing that I would pay minor attention to, would be to use a bit more flat on the finish so it wouldn't be so glossy. Other than that, great work!

Even with some lights on, during the day they can have a blue hue to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
