Mark Chen [madcat911] has sent in some images of his superb build of the Revell 1/48 McDonnell Douglas F-15 Strike Eagle. Mark used some components from the Academy F-15E kit, which with Marks excellent build and finishing skills has resulted in this excellent Strike Eagle.

nice job, what paint was used? I believe this aircraft was carrier based? I used to be in the 6th fleet back in the late 70s

Thanks for the compliments, guys.
@Dave: This aircraft never served with the US Navy. I think you may have confused it with the F-14 Tomcat.
Cheers!

Beautiful build, Mark. Great to hear the kit fitted together nicely. I have one in my stash and I am really looking forward to building it. Your build is great inspiration and a fantastic result to strive for.
