Hi Guys,

This is my first experience on this forum so I just put in two pics of a OOTB Hasegawa F-15J with Platz decals of a special painted anniversary scheme.

What a fantastic colour scheme. Really unusual. This for me epitomises the diversity of some of the works i've seen on these forums. Aq uite stunning example we see before us and i applaud you. Well done

Beautiful model and markings Tobias.
I have seen pics of quite a few colourful Japanese aircraft, and i always fancied doing one, your build might just inspire me.
The decal on the top of the wing, is it one big decal or several lined up?

Wow, I'd like to see the size of the decal sheet! It must have been huge (or at least on several sheets). I wonder if they did a set in 1:48.........

Thank for the words.

The decalsheet is huge with the mountain and most of the tree in one decal, this needs careful planing and handling when you put on the decal. My 1/72 model was training for the 1/48 model and on that sheet the decal is HUGE. I will post pics on the progress on that model but I havenīt come so far yet.

In the pics below you can see the 1/48 sheet with the 1/144 sheet along a ruler. The ruler is in mm (1 inch = 25,4 mm)
