ORANGF15Guy Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 (edited) This is the first aircraft of a twin F-15C “Shark Mouth” build! Kit is a GWH Eagle. Has a Quickboost ejection seat, KA nozzles, Eduard RBF flags, Brassin AIM-120’s, Brassin AIM-9X and an ACMI pod from a Tamiya F-16 kit. Phase Hanger AOA and Pitot covers, LP Models boarding ladder and Reskit wheels. Gun vent covers and the Secondary Heat Exchanger cover are my design. I used Quinta Studios Decals for the cockpit and the IP coming. Decals are from Speed Hunters excellent Guardian Eagles sheet. Intake and exhaust covers and the AN/ALR-56 RWR are my design and poured from resin! Decals for the intake and exhaust covers were my design and printed by me. Thanks for looking!

RichB63 Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 Wow is right! I love the detailing...well executed! The red covers do add a lot of realism, not to mention color. Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BastianD Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 What a great Eagle! Impressed by the clean finish and excellent appearance! I think I saw this bird during a walk around on Leeuwarden Airbase back in 2017, during Frisian Flag exercise where they participated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will be waiting for the decals and conversion set from Caracal! I think the EX looks better without the CFT’s Brad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have to disagree with you. At the heart, I still see it as an E, so it looks naked to me without the CFTs! But regardless, it's a cool-looking plane. Sorry you don't get to see more of it with Klamath not getting them. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lgl007 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Wow... impressive indeed, worthy of any shelf 🙂 Was this a personal project or did you build this for someone else on consignment or maybe even for the pilot himself? -Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Both F-15 units in Oregon painted a jet with a Shark Mouth! I was more familiar with the jet from Kingsley so that’s the one that I finished first. The jet from PDX is almost done and I’ll be posting images of that jet soon. Both of these models will reside in my trophy case! As I’ve built models for both bases in the past!

aircommando130 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 That's a great looking Eagle! A lot of attention to detail there...great job! I think that Eagle came from Kadena...I spent 4 years there in the Special Operations Wing there and saw the F-15's fly every day. Cheers...Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
