Well I just learned something new, never thought of using a hair dryer to straighten out pieces!

Depending on how thin or thick the styrene parts are, it works out well. Just be patient or you could warp it in the other direction. LOL!

Lots of issues with fit and finish but I've got it under control. Still, it's a fun and simple build. I'm looking forward to the decals!

It's getting there. As I mentioned earlier, there's lots of sanding going on. Thank you for the visit, read and reply!

I've been eying that kit! I'll be following your build.

I just hope I don't disappoint Forum members.

Toshi

Looking good Toshi. It will look good sitting on her nightstand since she picked it for the eagle decals.

Oh yeah, by the way, your builds never disappoint any of us.

Toshi, It's always fun to follow your builds. If something goes wrong with the decals .. so what? Just find some more (Is that possible for this plane?). Remember, it's the journey...

Thank you! Yes, if something does go wrong with the decals God forbid, I can always write to Revell and they'll take care of it immediately. I'll probably see it in a week and a half. Their customer service is impeccable.

Thank you for the sayings of Matsuo Basho. I needed that.

Yes, it's a simple kit. Though it's a 1979 mold with raised panel lines. Flash all over the place, wrong parts numbers, fit and finish is difficult but doable. The only new item is the burner cans.

Once I can straighten everything out, I'll be looking forward to the base paint, camoflauge motif, and then the real fun part starts! Decals and stencils! LOL!

Toshi I have complete faith in your mastery of building and decaling. This Eagle will fly as high or higher as your other builds. The scheme is not my taste but if my BETTER half wanted it I would bend over backwards for her. Watching with bated breath.

Thank you XF-15DCC! I didn't know you're working on the same kit. LMK of any issues you come across. Then again, as you said; "It is summer and time for other things". I completely agree. Thank you sir for the read and reply!

armornut, you are way too kind with your words. I'm most humbled by it. I will do my best in this build. Mrs. Toshi is waiting on me for the decal section of this build. LOL!

There is an issue of which I will share with forum members below. It might slow the building process down a bit. Thank you sir for always supporting my builds. I am most grateful for this.

I've come across a major issue. Part number 14, right outboard intake panel is missing. I have already contacted Revell and I should have that part in a week or two. You gotta love Revell's customer service!

Below are two photos of what part is missing and needed to complete the F-15C Eagle. The third photo is of the nose cone of which needs to be sanded down. Thank you forum members for your support!

Well, I knew at some point the Tamiya white putty would have to be used. LOL! Although it's not too bad. A little here and a little there with some sanding took care of everything.
