I started this build
2 years ago during the F-15 Group Build. I planned 4 jets, managed to only
finish one, before work stopped halfway on this jet. Deciding it was time to
clear it off my workbench, I took it out and am happy to say that it is now
finished... (ie, my workbench has more space).

Being a bit more conscious
of the detail, I decided 2 years ago that the Hasegawa bottom fuselage was
totally off and had rescribed the entire thing to the correct panel lines,
using a Revell F-15E as a rough reference. Two years on, this carried on
and I used a Black Box seat in the pit, cast copies of the wing pylons,
centreline fuselage tank and centreline pylon from the Revell F-15E for
use, and also added an Aires nozzle set. Decals came from Twobobs. For the
wing pylons, some detail was also added by removing the area around the
mountings. Lastly, I added True Details bulged F-15 wheels.
I followed the
colours as called for on the Hasegawa instruction sheet for the F-15J
"Aggressor" kit, but tweaked the purplish-light gray colour with a mk1
eyeball.
Hope you enjoy it.
