That looks great. What kit did you use and did you make the base yourself?

[ThunderGrunt]

It was the Tamiya F-15C kit im guessing early kit because it had featherd exhaust and no cockpit detail just decals, the sidewinders are from my revell kits and the engines are from the Academy kit, the base is just a piece of wood i found in my garage cut to fit the verlinden paper tarmac, sprayed with adhesive.

That looks like it will be a nice presentation model thundergrunt. Is it the same model as the one you did earlier?

YEp it is Raptor is decided it wasn't enough standing alone, and i also did some work to the side where those dents were from the putty. the only thing i might have done differnt is take the pilot out and maybe found some intake covers because there is no intake detail. Thanks for the support Raptor, my Next Dio is for the f-15 GB and its going to be big, I have done 3 kits since getting Back into the hobby after 11 years and was a good healing tool as i recoverd from my injuries in Iraq.

Scott, It was a toss yup between them and the unit from Langley with the red band but i think they are raptos now, but as for the 44th FS, Iused to see then when i wa stationed in okinawa, with the Marines, plus Iwas dating a girl from the 44th, I guess that is maybe why Dont know,as for the decals it is a mix of tamiya academy and revell put toghether, my next two eagles ihope you all will like, and ill be doing an Aggressor bird after your decals come out. thanks for the reply.
