Been doing a little here and there...mostly at the airport, while waiting for snow to pile up enough to get busy moving it. Got a little ahead of myself and forgot the obligatory pit pics, before closing it up....best I can do at this point...
Bring on the HURT!!!!
Weapons from a Hasegawa set...CBU's are from HobbyBoss' A-7 kit.
Since this build will be traveling via the US Postal Service...some extra work is required to toughen things up a bit. I used brass rod to make pins that will run through the fuse/or wing parts, through the pylon and into the stores. As of right now, these will pressure fit without any need for glue(they will get glued though too).
Customer wanted AMRAAMs loaded up on the missile rails. The kit includes AIM-9s. I cut off the rails for the AIM-9s and replaced them with the rails for the AMRAAMs from the Hasegawa set.
Ready to start painting some stuff!
This is a fun kit to build. As always, you're doing a fantastic job. I'm looking forward to your progress!

Can't wait to see how this turns out.
Being an X Eagle Keeper I will be watching.
Are the CFT pre-molded to the fuselage or do you need to put them on.

Thanks guys.

They are separate pieces. Both of mine had a bit of a warp to em. A bit of a PITA to hold em in place (they slip pretty easy) and glue at the same time. I had to use some tape to help hold em in place, while I gluing and working out the warp.
Looks great so far.

Nicely done so far,par for the course. When you get a moment tell me what you use as adhesive for the brass to plastic.

Excellent job, the E model is a lot better than there older ones with those nasty raised panel's.

I use CA. The drill bits are the exact same size as the brass rod, so it's a tight fit to begin with...the glue is just a little extra "insurance".

The truth is what you speak! I did the old C model many moons ago...long gone. I did another early on, during my 1st return to building. I did a terrible job on it. Upon my 2nd return to building, that F-15 was destined for the trash can...I signed up on an "Air Racer GB" here, and decided to redo that model as a "what-if" racer. Stripped it down, de-militarized it, clipped the wings and whatnot...
Now that is an Eagle! Well done!
Got this sucker painted up...
Decals are done!
Bring on the hurt!!!
Sweet, I have had this kit (or some what the same kit) in my hand before. Need to finish my Tamiya F-15C model first.
Did you hand paint the yellow and brown stripes on your munitions or are those decals?

I did the yellow in the bombs...the missiles are decals though.
Did a panel line wash (amplified a bit in the pics), as well as some more weathering with some tinted dull coat through the a/b.
I'll do a bit more weathering with some pastels, once I get the other stuff on there.
Your weathering on the belly inbd of main gear and back to the exhaust is spot on.
Got this beast loaded up.
That looks aweome!!! Fantastic job.
Got'er wrapped up!
Wow, even the external ladder. Was this an option or aftermarket?
Well done!
Your normal, brilliant work!
I just love looking at your finished kits as well as following your WIP threads. I've been looking at your tutorial on your SBD-3 Dauntless:
http://cs.finescale.com/fsm/modeling_subjects/f/2/t/160714.aspx
and am at a the beginning of my AM 1/48 SBD-5 build. Your mastery of painting and weathering the pit is more than I could hope to accomplish but your step by step instruction as to how you do it with the images is invaluable.
As has been pointed out by Fermis, the thread I linked above is by LawDog. Both Fermis and LawDog are fantastic modelers who's WIP are of great interest to me and from whom I've already learned a lot.

Thank you very much!
That's "Lawdogs" thread, if I'm remembering correctly. Been a LONG time since I've built one of those (got 2 in the stash though!). We do do things quite similar though.
XF-15DCC Wow, even the external ladder. Was this an option or aftermarket?
That was included with the kit.
Fermis, just beautiful Always loved the Eagle, and you certainly did this one justice. Quick question, what are those massive JDAMs on the conformal racks? Are they bunker busters? Thanks.
John
Ooops
Yes, I must make my attributions more accurately. LawDog is another modeler who I always enjoy following. That error takes nothing away from my compliment to you and your skill.
Another beautiful build. Excellent mastery!
Stunning ! The panel line shading is perfect.

Great job as usual fermis. That is quite a load on that Eagle and it will certainly do some hurting on the other end. That is an excellent idea to pin the weapons to keep them on during shipping. I do the same thing on my comissions to keep them on while being thrown around by the USPS.
The Pro Modeler Eagle has a ton of weapons and pops up now and then on ebay. Again fermis, super job.
I think Mike was talking about the awesome TBD you did a while back.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
Nope, I just made a mistake when attributing the thread to fermis. No matter, both fermis and LawDog are such fine modelers that I learn from both and admire all the work I see from both of them.
Are you talking about the Revell of Germany version? it seems to have more ordinance than the Revell F-15E strike eagle version.
