Here's something that I've finished recently. It is a Revell Strike Eagle with parts and decals from an Academy kit thrown in to make a modern version of the F-15E.

Painting was done with Gunze acrylics and weathering was done with Tamiya enamels and pastel chalks. Hope you like it! Feedback and critique most welcome.

Very nice Mark! Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't this kit have raised panel line details?

Outstanding Mark, great job all around. Coloring, decals and weathering looks spot on. I really like what and how you did the finish on the exhaust burners, something a lot of modelers fall (including myself) to do after building a great looking jet like yourself.

Ok we’re supposed to give some sort of constructive criticism, the boarding ladder is to clean and maybe (depending on which photos you look at) the GBU heads should droop a bit.



Happy Modeling,
Joe
