Beautiful Tamiya 1/32 F-15E

I'm sure many of you have seen this web site and one of you may even be the guy who built it, but I ran across this site today and was amazed at the awesome job this guy did on this 1/32 scale Tamiya F-15E.
It's an inspiration to those of us with less skills. Approve [^]

My pleasure Mark.

It must be nice having all of those big parts in 1/32 scale to work with huh? Wink [;)]
If I had room to store one of those babies I would build one.

It's easier than you think to come up with room for a large scale aircraft. If you want it bad enough, you won't think twice about moving your mother-in-laws picture from the mantle so a braille scale can go in it's place...

The only thing I can find wrong is the back seater sitting in the tub. He did do a good job on him though.

The judges must have liked it though seeing that it won 1st place in the Silicon Valley Modellers contest as well as 2nd place at TamiyaCon '03.
Not bad! Big Smile [:D]

That guy is one of the best in the world. The awards prove it.

I loved reading his build ups. He uses soooooooooo many products.
