Hi guys,
I posted this in the MoM competition but alas I finished this a few months back so it can't happen. However some good honest criticism will always be welcome. I dressed this kit up the famous McDD workhorse which was in fact a B which was used to test and evaluate all the E mods. The kit was fun and easy to build with only minor fit problems, I finished it off with Warbird acrylics and artists oils and pastels for weathering.
Thanks guys

Its a shame that you have quite a few views and only 1 reply. The Eagle looks GREAT, period.

What was the kit pit like on that? My experience with Academy kits is the cockpits pretty much suck and require a lot of scratchbuilding to bring them up to snuff

That’s a great looking 15 Geoff. Not only is your painting super your weathering is equally greater. I love how the exhaust cans came out and looking at the kit all the section look tight, even the canopy. Great job.
Happy Modeling,
Joe

Nice Mud Hen you have built there.I always liked the E model more than the A or C.I think they look alot tougher with the extra tanks in the body.
