First coat of paint.  Everything looks good from here.  Next up is the camoflauge motif.  I'll be doing that free hand later this evening when things cool down around here.  It's ninety degrees outside where I'm AB. And it's just too hot!  LOL!

Toshi

I don't know who's faster, you, or Keyda. I'm not sure how you guys do it.

This thread is boring compared to the Mosquito...lol. Seriously, Toshi love following your work. Tip of the hat....

In all true seriousness, DasBeav, thank you for your support, following my build, read, and reply.

That's looking great Toshi! Your camo looks spot on. The decals won't be difficult. I built the model that's on the sides of the box. When Revell sent me the test decal sheet, I was a bit worried about how they would go down. They were ALPS printed, and not the regular ones you have, but the sizing is the same. I had no problems putting them on.

Looking really good, Toshi. Your cruzin' right through this one.

Once these are attached, I'll be spraying the F-15C Eagle with Testors Clear Lacquer Spray from a rattle can and then I can work on the decals.  

Thank you so very much for the decal tip, (I didn't know that the decals go on easy without any problems for you.  I just hope for the same for me.) and the support you've given me is priceless!  I'll be using your photo pic as a base to see where everything goes.  Once again, I can't thank you enough!

I had several gap issues that needed Tamiya Putty and I think I sanded my fingers down to the bone!  LOL!  I got really really spoiled by the Tamiya 1/32 Mosquito.  LOL!  

But I got everything under control now and everything at the very least looks square.  BrandonK, once again, thank you so much for the support and guiding me in my builds through the last two years!

looking great mate :)

 

Toshi

no problem mate i look forward to seeing your build too :)

Toshi, you must be getting old; it has been seven days since you started, and your not done yet? Maybe Keyda broke your motivation! Looking good, as always.

Thank you so much for that Shipwreck, I needed that!  You're the man!  Yes, isn't Keyda fast. And all her builds are terrific!  She's the new queen of speed, I think she built two kits (Tomcat and Sabre Dog) since I started the F-15C Eagle.

Shipwreck, thank you so much for supporting my builds, this means so much to me!

Looking great Toshi!  Can't wait to see it with the decals!  Which airbrush did you use for the freehand camo?  I have a Paasche VL, and I'm getting better with it, but I can't paint that cleanly like you have, wondering if it's me or the airbrush, lol.    I see I've been the talk of the town lately, lol!  I'll be slowing down with summer right around the corner.  Have a camping trip planned, plus an airshow at the National Warplane museum.  Rainy days will still be spent modeling though!

By the way, they are all gravity feed AB except I have a siphon AB from HF, it came with a compressor.  And it works really well!

What I dId is use the Eclipse to outline the camoflange (at 10psi) then I'll use the NEO (at 30psi) for the inside of the coverages.  The whole plane was sprayed with the TRN1 Iwata Pistol Grip (35psi to 40psi) for full coverages.  All panel liners are raised on this kit that made it's debut in 1979.  So I'm making the best of it.  I used Vallejo color.

Yes, the joke around here was that I was the king of speed pumping out all the kits in a matter of days.  Now you're the queen whom can crank out kits with amazing speeds and still have your kits look fantastic!  I hope this helps, if not ask  what you're exactly doing and maybe we can fix this for you.  Thank you for the question and the visit.

Hi Toshi, just dropping by to give you my support.  The free hand airbrushing came out great.  One thing I noticed with this build that is unlike most of your other builds, is that this one it missing a propeller.  

LOL!   LOL!  LOL!  Yes, I must agree with you, it's missing a propeller!  LOL!  I showed it to Mrs. Toshi and cracked up!  Thank you for the laugh this morning.  I needed that.  You're the man!

Toshi

Just checking on you! The camo looks great. Those decals look daunting to say the least. I'm anxious to see how that goes. Keep up the good work Toshi my friend.

Hey Toshi. That freehand camo looks excellent. Glad you got to use that new Iwata AB. Looks like you got a handle on it right quick. Maybe if I show your picture posts to my Mrs., and mention that this was a gift from Mrs. Toshi...(hint, hint, hint). Seriously, excellent job.

Everything is looking good, Toshi.

Bummer about that intake panel, but your sure didn't let it faze you. I'm an anal mess about doing things in order, I would be all-systems-stop waiting for the part. Hopefully I might learn something from you here.

I'm getting a little bit excited to see the decals going on.

....And there is that Tamiya paint stand coming in handy yet again. One of these days I'm going to break down and buy one.
