To my fellow forum members,
Here is my next build from Revell, a F-15E Strike Eagle. As always, I'll follow up with a step by step build. Thank you for your support.

I'm in also, I have this kit.
Very cool Toshi, nice to see you switching around from Second World War to modern jets. A little variety keeps things from getting stale.

Nice one Toshi! One word of warning,I believe that the fit of the forward fuselage to rear section may prover troublesome. I'd advise lots of dry fitting!

+1. But mostly because Im biased towards modern jets. Sleek, pointy and fast.
Looking forward to this Toshi.

Thank you all for following as well as replying on this and the many past builds I've done. Your support means so much to me as I can only move forward not just in models but in life as well.
Besides this build, I received a special present from Mrs. Toshi. It's a NEO Pistol Grip Gravity Fed Air Brush, TRN-1. I'll post a photo of the AB later today. The Sky Raider and the Me 262 were shot with this particular AB. It's really a fantastic treat, now I have a 0.3 dual action Siphon AB from Harbor Frieght Tools, 0.5 dual action NEO Gravity Fed Pistol Grip, and my trusty 0.35 dual action NEO Standard Gravity fed AB. The last two AB were purchased at Hobby Lobby Utilizing their 40% off coupon.
Going back to the subject of the F-15, I was shocked as this is the first time I've ever seen a Revel product without the usual raised panel lines. These panel lines were engraved and are nicely done giving pre-weathering a plus for this build. I was not in the best state of mind yesterday, so my progress leads only into the F-15 cockpit. Please view the cockpit below. Thank you so much FSM Forum members.
I have this kit, just bought it as a matter of fact. I have a HUGE urge to build some modern jets right now. I'll be watching this, as I watch all your work.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

BishWish I could take some pics for you but unfortunately that's not allowed. I have got pretty close to them on a few occasions, bloody impressive close up.
Up first is a gift Mrs. Toshi purchased for me. As promised I took a couple of shots just to show forum members my new AB. It is really a great addition, I love it!
Iwata NEO Trigger Air Brush TRN-1
As I mentioned earlier, this Revell kit has recessed panels as oppose to raised panel lines that I'm used to seeing from Revell. Once I get the F-15 ready for prime, I'll follow that with some pre-shading. I hope it comes out ok.
BishNice looking airbrush you lucky man. I have never use one with a trigger like that. Look forward to seeing more on this.
If I may make a suggestion.....After the silver on the radar screens are dry, add clear green right on top. I usually add several thick coats of Tamiya clear green and build up the intensity. The silver will add depth and refelection like in the real screens.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
I'm anxiously following this one Toshi, as this is my favorite modern jet. I know you'll do an excellent build on this one as well. can't wait to see the progress and glean the tips you send out on the WIP.
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.
