Jinxter13 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) The only critique is it's in the wrong forum, should be in the Display case, thar ain't nuthin wrong with this build...at all. The contrast between the grays is superb ;) . Edited September 13, 2015 by #1 Greywolf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
A-10 LOADER Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 She's a stunner, have to agree with Greywolf, no complaints here. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ShawnV. Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Beautiful Eagle. I love the panel lines. Truly awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EagleAviation Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Beautiful build! Very nice colors and finish. My only concern is the position of the intakes. I have the feeling that when the engines are not running the intakes are in the up position. The AIC – Air Inlet Controller works only when the engines are running.

cag_200 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) Almost everyone forgets to weather the decals... Doesn't this kit comes with clear parts for landing/anti-collision lights? I like the way you airbrushed it. Bravo ! Edited September 14, 2015 by cag_200 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Janissary Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Looks great. How did you like the kit? Any fit or other types of problems? Also, which paints and colors did you use? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kellyF15 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 That is awesome, I was also wondering about fit problems on this kit... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, you are right about the intakes, but I'm been asked to build them so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Ken, in my opinion the GWH is really Tamiya quality! The only issue is the ejection seat (too big); I did use a mix of Gunze and Tamiya acryls for painting.

Janissary Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 If it is Tamiya quality, I will need to start making plans for a two-seater now. So many great new kits, so little time…. Anxiously waiting for a Su-27 from GWH. Now, I have grand plans for that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liberator24 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 From someone who had the blessing from GOD himself to watch the 125th fly over the house this weekend before buzzing Everbank Field for the Jags game... I love it. BTW the flyover was awesome. Best thing that happened at that field all day long! -Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scotthldr Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Quite frankly and without doubt the best F-15C I've ever seen, looks even better than the real thing if that's possible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteveV22FE Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) Is it normal for the ailerons to droop down? I didn't think that the F-15C, especially on with a 1985 tail number was a fly-by-wire aircraft. Which if it was, I could understand the droop. I would think, that if one aileron was down, the other should be up...right? On the FBW aircraft I've worked on, when power is removed from the aircraft, all the control surfaces droop. On conventional, mechanical linkage aircraft that is not the case. Please advise... EDIT: After some researching...I was surprised to see that they do droop while sitting static! Learn something new everyday! Edited October 4, 2015 by SteveV22FE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BJ Blazkowicz Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Congratulations! It does look like a real thing, and the colors are spot on. What paints you have used? The only thing that I would do differently, is the weathering on the stabs (both vertical and horizontal) - streaking looks a tad to strong to me. But again, overall presentation is superb.

ikar Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 One thing I have a question on are the squadron markings. The 67th did have a red tail band when they first got the F-15s and all three of the squadrons assigned to Kadena used the same system but with their own squadron/s color. When the 18th was invited to play at the William Tell competition in the early 80s the team adopted the Shogun emblem, which was later painted on every Eagle on the base. : The style of "ZZ" tail code you show didn't begin to show up until 1986. I saw it on a "D" outfitted with two pylon tanks and a 119 pod centerline as well as the aircraft designated for the 313th Air Division Commander. I just don't remember them going back to a single color band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
