1/48 Revell F-15E Strike Eagle
Posted by Wolfman_63 on Friday, March 30, 2018 4:21 AM

Working on the Revell F-15E Strike Eagle kit. This is my first build for my new website ( https://davidsscalemodels.com/ ). Using the Eduard cockpit detail kit, Quick Boost ejection seats, and the Ares resin Turkey Feather exhaust.

The cockpit is looking good. I had to add a spacer under the resin seats to raise them to the proper height.





The Ares resin exhaust cans are built and detailed.

Good start - I have one in the stash, so I'll be interested to see how your build goes. Just visited you website and bookmarked it for future reference. You have a lot of interesting WIP photos and good looking finished work!

The F-15E Strike Eagle has been completed. For an older Revell model it was a decent kit to build. Fit was very good. You can see all the build and final photo's at https://davidsscalemodels.com/build-log/1-48-revell-f-15e-strike-eagle/

Nice, you nailed the grey color on the F-15, it has that perfect matte look to it. Looks like silvering attacked you on some of those decals. Were the decals hard to work with?

The decals did silver a bit. I bought this kit used at a swap sale and used the original decals. They were a little difficult to use due to age and they are a thick film. I should have bought a fresh aftermarket set.
