WOW!!  That is an eye-popping bird!  Now that I have popped my eyes back in, just wanted to say that your work is outstanding.  You did a great job on those decals.

Sweet Eagle Toshi, I knew you could pull it off. Though I'm an Idaho native and now Washington transplant, that Oregon tail decal is very cool. Mrs. Toshi will be very happy to have that bird in HER collection. Have a GREAT day sir.

wow that looks awsome , very nice look forward to seeing the kingfisher mate :)

 

 

 

 

Thank you sir.  Yes, the more I think about it, the more I'm leaning my decision towards the Kingfisher!  I personally enjoy working with PE and there's a Big Ed Set for the Kittyhawk 1/32 Kingfisher.  We'll see what Mrs. Toshi has got to say.  LOL!  Thanks for the visit.

Toshi I have the KH Kingfisher and IMO getting a Bidg Ed set is an overkill. The kit is very well detailed as is but if you want to add some pe then I would go with something simpler. I just don't see replacing good detailed parts but it's your call.

It's a very colorful decal and adds some differentiation to the F-15.  Although Mrs. Toshi likes the plane, all models must be displayed on the den wall.  LOL!  Thank you for visiting my thread, I appreciate it very much.

Outstanding as always!

FWIW, I have 22 years working the F-15C/D and never saw that pod on that station. Come to think of it I never saw anything placed on those two outboard stations. The pod would go on station 5 (centerline tank) and the jet would fly with either two wing tanks (Charlie configuration) or nothing, just internal fuel.

Whats next?

Well for a Father's Day gift from Mrs. Toshi, I got a Kitty Hawk 1/32 Kingfisher, a Trumpeter 1/32 F-4U 1A Corsair, metal landing gears and a Big Ed Set all for the Corsair.

Well done, sir. Well done!

Here's the other side for today.

This is what the wing looks like after a day to dry out.

That is really, really cool, Toshi. Are you going to dull the finish or leave it as-is?

I think I'll let Mrs. Toshi decide.  She picked it out specifically for the eagle motif.  If I had to decide, I would be stumped!  Flat or gloss?  What do you think?  Thank you in advance.

Toshi

Wow Toshi, you beat another chanllenging kit.  I like the idea of polished automotive high gloss finish to really make the artwork stand out, but thats just me

I got to agree with scottrc....Gloss....make it pop! Spotlights! Spinning Disco Ball! Would a fog machine be too much?

Toshi,

Some more info. WhenI first saw the tail number I thought it read 78-041. After your close up I noticed it is 79-041, I worked this jet (at times) while stationed at Bitburg with the 36TFW.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

Those were the days!

Great job on your Eagle. I love that Eagle artwork.

I do have a problem, though. I have scoured the military aircraft board just now and have not found your Kingfisher topic already with 3 pages! Are you slowing down on us?

Joking with you, but I am sure we will see some more great work soon from you. Happy father's day to you.

Here's what the bottom looks like for today.  Next up is the one thousand and one, stencils!  LOL!

LOL!  LOL!  It's 4:00am and here I am laughing loud waking up Mrs. Toshi!  LOL!  Yes, I'm slowing down on you guys and gals.  I'm getting old!  LOL!

Mrs. Toshi purchased these gifts for me for Father's Day.  A Kitty Hawk 1/32 Kingfisher with some Montex masks that left China yesterday.  She also purchased for me a Trumpeter 1/32 F4U-1 Corsair with a Big Ed Set and the main metal landing gears that left China yesterday as well.  I should see them arrive late next week!  

And have happy Father's Day to you as well!  And enjoy it.

 I see that you're getting ready for the Kittyhawk 1/32 Kingfisher.  I am considering the Kingfisher for my next kit.

Well, it's safe to say you will be done LONG before I am as I have 3 kits in the works atm and I am rather busy with outside stuff so my modeling is taking a bit of a back seat. I'll get there eventually. I can't wait to see yours.

Toshi, I expect good work from you, and you did it again. What is so unique about your F-15 is that it is so pretty! You must have a good wife that keeps you so well supplied with kits. When are you moving into a bigger house? Happy Father's Day!

 

And a Happy Fathers Day to you to.

I finally got all the stencils applied.  Now I'll be waiting for the one single part (Intake) to arrive from Revell to complete my F-15.  These are just a couple of pics as I don't want to bore you with the rest of the stencils.

When that part arrives, I can prep it and glue it onto the Eagle so I can call this build complete.
