OttovonLindbergPro work! How did you get the wash done so well in those shallow panel lines?
9. August, 20:40
Celliers@OttovonLindberg, I just kept on wiping away the wash until there was almost nothing left in the panel lines. Very easy to wipe all the wash in the panel lines away, then you just have to try again.
11. August, 16:15
11. August, 17:44
OttovonLindbergThank you. Did you use a cotton swab or a paintbrush to remove the excess wash?
12. August, 04:23
Celliers@OttovonLindberg, I mostly used a cotton swab

Robby OwenTrying to mix up some blue to match the decals since thin, flat, brittle decals don't exactly bend around the round antennas on the tips of the vertical stabs. Anyone built this using the kit decals and know a blue (and I'm sure I'm going to need the red too) that will match the decals?
Robby OwenPlease disregard the above. I found a solution. Home Depot. Took them the decals and they were able to perfectly match the blue and red. Cost was $4/pint...

Greg BakerI've been studying that too. Best I can come up with is... vacu-formed plug. I await the reveal...
11. May, 10:21
Marco PretoThe front canopy part has an air bubble and indeed, I am preparing it to be the "master" for a vac-form canopy. I will try to share more soon (but worling at home with two small todlers does not leave a lot of relaxing time at the modeling bench).
Cheers

Clifford KeeslerExcellent Roland. I just noticed that it is 1:144, so even more impressive.
10. June, 21:02
Roland GunslingerThanks Greg and Clifford! Much appreciated!
@Greg After I have tried something more serious myself to build such a tiny kit, I appreciate your skills even more. This scale does not forgive mistakes. I take my hat off to you!
@Clifford 144 is an eye killer
10. June, 21:31
10. June, 21:36
Clifford KeeslerI do not doubt that. I have 2 1:144, but both are larger aircraft. A DC-8 and C-124 Globemaster.
10. June, 21:36
Greg BakerWow. You're right, 1/144 doesn't forgive much, but you certainly don't seem to have any need for forgiveness though... that's a top class result. I'm hoping my 1/144 F-14 comes out half that well!
10. June, 22:57
Roland GunslingerClifford, i'm looking forward to see your „minis" fly
@Greg, thank you for your kind words. From a master of this scale that makes me 2 head taller. Much appreciated!
You probably already know this kit, but if not, I can only recommend it.
11. June, 10:13
Greg BakerDon't worry, I just bought my first two 1/48 scale kits yesterday (Academy KF-5E and F-14 Bombcat), so I'll be coming to learn from you soon enough.
11. June, 11:34
Roland GunslingerThat sounds like an epic Area88 Dio or maybe a korean Top-Gun Version

Tony LeungThe shade is too blue. Though if you look at period pictures of the early F-15A, some pictures show a very blue hue. But the shade is actually lighter. Why yellow colour sparrow missiles?

AlexA wonderful perfect kit! Had to buy a second one, as only two big LGBs are supplied in the box. Colour is Revell Gunship grey.

21. May, 12:36
TreehuggerImpressive.
So Revell makes nice kits as long as they are tiny?
21. May, 12:48
AlexThanks! Yeah, in fact Revell made some excellent 1/144-kits, like the Eagle, or the Tomcat. I wonder why they neglect the 1/72-market, the best days of revell in this field are gone. Some good repops, but almost nothing new.

I hope i can start it next weekend as a "weekend build".
10. May, 15:30
Greg BakerCan't wait to see it. Just remember, 1/144 may be small, but treat it with the same respect as you do larger scales, and you'll get amazing results.

Łukasz GlińskiThe weathering looks bit heavy to me, but what concerns me the most is: how come do your 144th builds look better than my 72nd ones?
18. April, 14:52
TobiThanks for the nice comment, Lukasz! You're right, my weathering sometimes turns out to be a bit on the heavy side, especially when it comes to single-color camos

Slavo HazuchaWow...
Most normal people need surfaces 3-times this size at least to get this level of "action" going... Great stuff!

It was a fun project and I'm quite happy with the result. Working with bigger scales is definitely more „comfortable" though

Peter WI would recommend getting new decals for it, the ones in the kit are very thick and will have to work at it to thin them down, plus there is a ton of them. These were from my stash a few years back and worked way better.

Falk RölligDon't expect fast progress, please. I have to finish two other projects and still not shure with the decal option. I want to build the g.w.h. kit fully detailed with radome, canopy and air brake opened. Maybe the dxm decals are not the best option for this and i will interchange with an academy strike eagle #12550 build. So the academy kit with closed canopy gets the dxm 4th Wing decals and G.w.h. gets the "dragon betty".

John MoreraHello again. Does any one knows if I can use this after market kit
https://eduard.com/eduard/bi..5c-msip-ii-1-48-1.html?cur=2 with this F-15C Kit?
TreehuggerThe webpage states that the Big Ed pack is for "great wall hobby". Unknown, if that will cause issues, I guess it depens on what the parts actually do, might be worth checking out the build manual to get an idea if there might be fit issues if you do get this one, yet for your Tamiya kit. I wouldn't know, but perhaps the masking parts, won't fit the Tamiya kit if intended for Great Wall Hobby version.

8. November 2019, 20:33
Patrick HagelsteinThanks Stephan! I forgot that I ordered the sheet with Danny Coremans but had no plans for an F-15 yet. I found the GWH F-15J on eBay for a decent price, so will have a go at it a bit later. I was looking into a couple of AeroMasks and added the F-15C as well. It might become a 'thing' later on.
