a4s4eva Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) I finished this quite a few months ago. But I was faffing around with backgrounds trying to get some decent photos. Finally got something I liked. All the details of the build and my thoughts on the kit are at my blog But in summary. Good kit but showing it's age. I'm happy with most of it bar the exhausts (For such a prominent feature I didn't do a good job on them) and the canopy (crap design). Lots of photos at the blog but here's a couple of photos Edited May 12, 2020 by a4s4eva Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trojan Thunder Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Very nice Calum Did you scratch build the AOA sensor cover or does it come as part of some sort of set? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A-10 LOADER Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Excellent job, wow !! Nice touch adding all the RBF streamers in their proper locations as well. I especially like that you added the target detector covers over the influence fuse windows. LOVE the Mudhen !! Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mstor Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 That's really nice. It's good to see the Revell kit built up so nicely. Hard to beat that kit for bang for buck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janissary Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Looks great. The rbf tags and the seeker covers add a lot to the presentation. I need to look into those too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rocketdrvr Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Nice build! Only question I have is where did you find the covers for the air sensors on the fuselage and the burner cans? Never seen the red covers for the fuselage sensors before. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
picknpluck Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Beautiful Mud Hen! Can you tell us about the base you used? That looks really nice too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainObvious Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 There's nothing wrong with the canopy and the exhaust that I can see. The overall finish is beautiful and the base really ties it all together. Nice photography to show it all off too. Level 11 mate! -co Quote Link to post Share on other sites

smokeriderdon Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 For those asking about the probe covers, these are the ones I used. https://phasehangarresin.com/products/48025-f-15a-b-c-d-e-i-intake-exhaust-probe-covers Forgive the crappy pic, but you get the idea. They work great. And sir, fantastic job with yours! Looks great! And what makes you unhappy with your work on the exhausts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just the overall finish, It didn't help I broke them installing them so had to do some repairs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
