Brutus Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Hello everybody, If we're to read directly from the topic, we would thought it would have been a F-4 Phantom. Well..it's not, this is a F-15J Eagle from the JASDF 306th SQ 6th AW based in Komatsu AB with their 30th Anniversary markings in 2011 Found in the stash from all the available JASDF anniversary markings, something interesting which would have like combines two different type of aircrafts into one. Well, here are some shots of it. Standard start from the box. I'm not going get into too detailed about the avionic bay behind the seat as I plan to build this with the canopy closed.

Kurt H. Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 That is quite a unique and interesting subject. Welcome to the group build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brutus Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 Thanks Martin .. Kurt. Well, I had some good modelling time since the last post and turning out faster than I expected somehow. Main fuselage in place and primed. Didn't wait much of curing time and started painting the standard eagle colors using Mr.Hobby H308 and for the darker tone, I had used H306 and blend in with H307 as I found it little variation if just using H307 as per the instructions. Airbrushed 'Future' one layer and I got the main decals of this build on. Here's how it looks for now, Next would be the tons of stencil which seems to be standard offering in these Hasegawa boxing. Will update soon on the next phase. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Looks like you were getting close, any more updates? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brutus Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) I think I will call it DONE! With the forums down previously and diversion of attention to other builds, it was almost complete by mid November somehow. Anyway, here's a shot of it and more in the completed build section.

Brutus Posted January 1, 2017 Author Share Posted January 1, 2017 Thanks for the kind words guys. I'm glad it turned out well myself, 'Spook' was bit tricky to place at first. Normal Hasegawa decals thingy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
