marcopreto Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Here are some photos of my current scale modeling project, a IAF F-15I in 1:144 scale. I am building it converting Revell's 1:144 F-15E, using Bren Gun's Canopy and Heroes Model's exhaust nozzles. I hope to start painting it in the next few days.

ChernayaAkula Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Niiice! You modified the forward CFT pylons, right? Great attention to detail! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marcopreto Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Quote You modified the forward CFT pylons, right? I have indeed, just a small trim to the front of the pylon and profiling of its aerodynamic shape with files and sandpaper. Here is a quick update! The aircraft I am modeling was armed with 4 Aim-7 Sparrow missiles and I did not have any in my spare box. I modified 4 missiles with similar length and diameter, replacing their wings with wings cut from thin plastic card. Here they are after being primed. The first colors were applied and I hope to start the camouflage soon. While it was drying, the tires were brush painted. I hope to post more soon.

Night Owl Models Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 That is some impressive airbrushing for that scale I must say. Look forward to seeing the finished jet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
