Cris Magsino (crismag) presents his first aircraft model, a superbly finished F-15C. Well done Cris.

F-15C

Looks great! I love the F-15. I like how you roughed it up a little. I usually only see Navy planes weathered like they have been working, it is a nice change. Most importantly it isn't overdone. Great work friend.

wow he did a nice job on the plane,
f-15 is a cool plane

very good looking plane tin, but i am still a prop fan

here it is! a 1:48 monogram kit of the F15c Eagle built out of the box. no major modifications, just added some wirings and weathered. by the way, this is my first AC model so be gentle on your comments

:-) Very nice F-15, particularly for a first aircraft model. Well done
I know this isn't the RRB but, as it is you first aircraft model, I hope you don't mind me saying that the weathering looks just a little over done, for a modern jet. I know they can get dirty, but IMHO would look better on a model if toned down a bit. You may have references that show it, but I wouldn't think that you would get paint chipping. Partly because modern paint is more robust and partly because of the way modern jets are looked after ( I am no expert on this, just my mental picture ) Rather than paint chipping, paint touch up might be more appropriate, ie were you have bare metal showing, paint it with fresh paint. :-)
The idea of me posting this is to try and encourage debate from those in "the know". Any takers?
I personally build 1/48 WWII but have dabled in 1/72 modern. I suppose one of the reasons I build WWII is because I like the weathering challange :-)
Anyway, Cris, well done, what are you building at the moment (aircraft wise) :-)

I can say nothing more than a "GREAT WORK EVEN FOR YOUR 1ST AC!" Wish I could see more of your new AC works

WOW! awsume F-15, looks great, i like the way the nose is open, ya dont really ever get to see them like that, great work, cheers

man that is a great piece of work for your 1 st A C model .i've got this one on the shelf built ,all i'm waiting on is the inspration to finish it . great job

I like the weathering. I think it's heavy, but beleivable.
I'm no aircraft expert either, but I like the effect.
I thought the exhaust ports were also well done.
I'm building an "E" Strike Eagle variant now in 1/48 scale, and I hope it comes out this well.
Nicely done,

GREAT BIRD AND EXCELLENT WORK
CONGRATS

I agree that the plane looks great. If it is a little too weathered, it still looks great to me, and I would be proud to show it off.

many thanks people for the kind comments
